General
With the 20-inch Extra Thin Ride, Meinl's Byzance Jazz series found a ride that is highly representative of the rest of the cymbals. It's a cymbal that is highly sought-after by professional drummers, as it is hand-crafted to give it a unique sound and tonal characteristics. The dark sound that this ride possesses is easy to apply within a number of very diverse styles of music such as jazz, funk, reggae, world and electro.
As this ride is very thin, the material it's made of needs to be extra durable. Luckily, Meinl knew this, and the entire Byzance series is made of B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin and traces of silver). The traditional finish helps shape the sound and makes sure this cymbal looks good enough to take on stage with you. Many professional drummers are impressed by the 20-inch Byzance Jazz Extra Thin Ride, so Meinl has once again proven its worth.
