Light Ride, Great Crash
The Meinl Foundry Reserve 22 inch Light Ride features a thin weight that allows it to react quickly and dynamically to produce a precise replication of your playing touch.
From delicate light taps to full on crashing hits, this Meinl ride responds accurately to produce a versatile range of sound.
Whether you require the dark brooding wash of jazz or need a musical crash accent for pop and funk, this Byzance light ride has you covered.
Able to adapt to fit the personality of the player, this ride cymbal reacts to deliver the specific sound you want no matter what the style or situation.
Hand Hammering, Full Lathing
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 22 inch ride cymbal provides a stunningly sophisticated sound.
Once the fundamental pitch has been achieved using the specialist hand hammering process, the 22 inch light ride is then 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.
Added Extras
As with all the Byzance Foundry Reservce cymbals, this 22 inch light ride comes in a specially designed box to keep it well protected.
Adding to the special feel of this cymbal, the box also houses a pair of Meinl Stick & Brush Standard 5a drumsticks, a pair of 100% cotton cymbal gloves, a letter from Meinl managing director Reinhold Meinl and a certificate of authenticity.
A classy attention to detail, these added items showcase the special nature of this stunning cymbal.
One Off Looks
Each individual cymbal of the Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve range has a truly one-of-a-kind finish thanks to the precise hand hammering process it goes through in production.
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.
Summary
With its clean stick response and dark washy sustain, this Meinl ride cymbal offers a truly musically versatile sound for drummers of all styles from the studio to the stage.
The thin weight allows a dynamic playing response that offers great crash ability and precise delicacy.
The hand hammered and lathing processes create a rich mix of undertones and harmonics as well as providing a unique aesthetic.
