Hand Hammering
The hand hammering process used to create this Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve Light Ride serves to form the beautifully low fundamental pitch that it produces.
Delivering a lusciously dark tone and rich harmonics, this 20 inch ride cymbal provides a stunningly sophisticated sound.
Full Lathing
Once the fundamental pitch has been achieved using the specialist hand hammering process, the 20 inch light ride is fully lathed on both the top and bottom.
The full lathing gives the ride a clear attacking stick definition and a lush undertone-filled spreading sustain.
The combination of the hammering and the lathing serves to provide a ride cymbal that offers a precise stick response and a full dark washing sustain.
Light Ride, Great Crash
The Meinl Foundry Reserve 20 inch Light Ride features a thin weight that allows it to react quickly and dynamically to deliver a true replication of your playing touch.
From the delicate preciseness of a light tap to the full musical spread of a crashing hit, this Meinl ride responds accurately to produce a versatile range of sound.
Whether you need a dark brooding light wash for jazz or want musical crashing accents for pop and funk, this Byzance light ride has you covered.
Able to adapt to the personality of the player, this ride cymbal reacts to deliver the exact sound you want in any musical situation and for any style.
Special Additions
Perfectly complementing the handcrafted, versatile tone of the cymbal, this Byzance Factory Reserve Ride comes in a specially designed box with added extras to make your purchase feel super special.
Packed in a specially designed box to keep it well protected, the Meinl 20 inch light ride comes complete with a pair of Meinl Stick & Brush Standard 5a drumsticks, a set of 100% cotton cymbal gloves, a certificate of authenticity and a letter from Meinl managing director Reinhold Meinl.
A classy attention to detail, these added items showcase the special nature of this stunning cymbal.
One Off Looks
Thanks to the hand hammering process used in the creation of the Meinl Byzance Foundry Range, each cymbal has a truly one-of-a-kind finish.
The Meinl Cymbalsmiths spend extra time and implement additional hammering on the cymbal blanks to ensure the development of the complex cymbal voice.
The full lathing that follows to the top and bottom of the cymbal serves to finish the stunning cymbal sound and cement the striking look.
The top surface of the ride has intentionally been left free of large logos in order to let the natural beauty of the hand hammering hold its own.
