Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Meinl’s 22-inch Byzance Dark Raw Bell Ride centers on an untreated raw bell that produces a fat, projecting sound across a wide spectrum. Its dark, unlathed surface retains an original-looking appearance, while its voice is described as earthy with fairly short sustain. The cymbal is completely hand-hammered into shape and comes in Natural. Each Byzance cymbal has sound characteristics that cannot be duplicated.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Using the raw bell for fat, projecting sounds covering a wide spectrum.
