MEINLByzance Medium Ride Traditional Cymbal 24 in.
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 24-inch traditional-finish medium ride from Meinl's Byzance line. For drummers who want a large, washy ride with clear stick definition on top.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live rock and blues where a ride needs to cut
- Players who ride the bow and crash the edge
- Bigger kits with room for a wide cymbal
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Tight jazz kits where a 20 or 22 fits better
- Cramped stages and small cars — 24 inches travels badly
- Drummers wanting a dry, controlled stick sound
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Medium weight
The middle ground: enough body for stick definition, thin enough that the edge opens up when you crash it.
Detail 03
Traditional finish
Lathed and polished rather than raw, so the attack reads brighter and cleaner than a dry or sandblasted ride.
Detail 04
Ride cymbal
Meant for steady time on the bow with a bell accent, not as a primary crash, though this one takes crashes.
Detail 05
Byzance line
Meinl's hand-hammered B20 series. Hammering is done by hand, so no two cymbals sound identical.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cymbal only — no stand, felt, sleeve or cymbal bag included
- 02Check your stand height and boom reach; 24 inches needs clearance
- 03Hand-hammered cymbals vary — the one you get won't match a demo exactly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a 24 inch ride too big for a normal kit?
It works on most kits but needs boom clearance and space to the right of the floor tom. Measure before ordering if your setup is tight.
02Can I crash on it?
Yes. Medium weight lets the edge open up when struck, though it takes a firm hit and decays slowly.
03How does medium compare to a heavy ride?
Medium gives more wash and a shorter attack. Heavy stays cleaner and more controlled at high volume with less spread.
04Does it come with a stand?
No. You need a cymbal stand plus a felt, sleeve and wing nut, which most stands include.
