Meinl Cymbals have recently enhanced their rich offer with two new cymbals for jazzers: the Byzance Big Apple Dark Tradition Ride and the Byzance Big Apple Dark Tradition Light Ride.
According to the producer, the cymbals combine the finish and small bell size of our Byzance Big Apple Dark rides with the profile and bow of our Byzance Jazz Tradition rides to create an expressive voice that is nicely balanced with loads of responsiveness. The sound is articulated with a “woody” stick definition due to the unique form, totally lathed bottom, and increased surface tension. It quickly opens up for lush crashes while also offering a warm bed of undertones. There are two weights available: medium (2,350 grams) and light (2,100 grams).
