Detail 01
22-inch size
Provides the stated Big Apple Dark Ride format.

Independent shopping perspective
Designed around old-school jazz requirements, the 22-inch Byzance Jazz Big Apple Dark Ride centers on a rich, dark timbre. Earthy lows arrive with an immediate dark wash, while delicate stick definition remains present through the cymbal's response. A small bell and distinctive large bow produce its full-bodied sound. Hand hammering and lathing in Turkey place this ride in the Byzance Jazz family, with a voice shaped for detailed jazz playing rather than a bright, cutting ride approach.
