Meinl Byzance Vintage 22inch Equilibrium Ride

The Meinl Byzance Vintage 22 Inch Equilibrium Ride stands as a testament to what happens when master craftsmanship meets progressive drumming innovation. Born from a collaboration with renowned drummer Matt Garstka, this exceptional cymbal features hand–hammered B20 bronze construction that creates a harmonious blend of stick definition, complex overtones, and impressive crashability. Its medium heavy weight and 22–inch size make it incredibly versatile for drummers who demand both precision and warmth from their instruments.

This cymbal excels across multiple musical genres including pop, fusion, jazz, funk, R&B, reggae, and studio work, thanks to its natural, earthy, and complex character. The mid–bright timbre with high–mid pitch delivers medium to low volume output, while the narrow blade lathing combined with unlathed sections creates medium to long sustain. Its ability to cut through dense mixes is particularly notable, with a piercing bell that adds the perfect accent to any performance.

For drummers seeking expressive control and tonal depth, the Byzance Vintage Equilibrium Ride offers exceptional craftsmanship and a thoughtfully designed sound profile. The hand–hammered B20 bronze alloy construction ensures each cymbal has its own unique sonic fingerprint, while the collaboration with Matt Garstka guarantees it meets the demands of progressive and dynamic playing styles.
