The Korena take

Meinl's 22-inch Byzance Polyphonic Ride is built around distinct playing zones, giving its crash, ride wash, and bell voices separate roles. Crash accents respond quickly; sustained wash riding opens into a shimmering character; and the large raw bell speaks clearly with a dry edge. That range makes it useful when a part moves between riding, crashing, and bell punctuation instead of keeping the cymbal in one fixed role.
