Special Extras
As with all the Byzance Foundry Reserve cymbals, this 22 inch 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 highlight the special nature of this stunning cymbal.
Deep Hand Hammering, Full Lathing
The hand hammering utilised in the production of this Meinl Foundry Reserve Ride works to deliver a sound that has a deep foundation filled with rich character.
Offering a combination of lusciously dry stick articulation and a sensual spread of full sustain, this 22 inch Meinl ride has a stunningly musical tone.
Following the hand hammering process, the 22 inch ride is fully lathed on the top and bottom to reveal a rich tonality and a complex array of harmonics.
Without the addition of the lathing these integral aspects of the cymbal sound would remain locked in the cymbal, but the lathing serves to ensures the cymbal opens up to reveal these unique characteristics.
Dry Stick, Controlled Sustain
Featuring a sophistication to its sound, the Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve provides a versatile combination of dry stick articulation and a controlled sustain.
The dry stick response provides a precise articulation that sits neatly in the mix, while the complex character of the full spreading sustain always remains controlled.
Ideal for a wide range of musical styles, this ride would slot seamlessly into a variety of musical settings to deliver the sound you need from the studio to the stage.
Medium Thin Weight
Featuring a medium thin weight, the Meinl 22 inch Byzance Foundry Reserve Ride offers a responsive playing feel that delivers a range of tonal options.
Providing enough body to produce a strong stick definition, the thin aspect of the ride also allows it to open up to deliver a great crash response.
Offering a dynamic tone, this ride cymbal reacts to your playing to ensure a realistic representation of your touch.
From light taps to full on smacks, this 22 inch ride cymbal responds to produce delicately dry sticking through to full swelling spread.
Unique Looks
Each individual cymbal of the Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve range has a truly unique finish thanks to the hand hammering used in its creation.
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 to the top and bottom of the cymbal serves to finish the stunning cymbal sound and cement the one-of-a-kind 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.
