Meinl Byzance Jazz 20" Big Apple Ride Cymbal

The Meinl Byzance Jazz 20 Inch Big Apple Ride Cymbal brings the authentic sound of New York’s legendary jazz scene directly to your drum kit. This meticulously crafted cymbal pays homage to the vibrant musical heritage of the Big Apple, featuring a distinctive smaller bell and large bow design that produces a sweet, pearly ping with full–bodied resonance and long, shimmering sustain.

Constructed from premium B20 bronze alloy and hand hammered for exceptional tonal quality, this ride cymbal offers a complex, musical character with dark timbre that suits jazz, funk, and reggae styles perfectly. The traditional finish with narrow blade lathe work contributes to its low pitch and volume characteristics, making it ideal for intimate jazz settings and studio recording environments.

The cymbal’s medium to short sustain provides precise sound control, allowing drummers to articulate their playing with clarity and musical expression. Its complex blend of tones creates a sophisticated sound palette that serious drummers will appreciate for both live performance and recording applications.
