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
Ride cymbal
Built for repeated stick strokes with a defined ping, not for full-force crashing.
Detail 03
Byzance line
MEINL's B20 handmade family. Expect a darker character than their machine-made ranges.
Detail 04
Weight and size together
A 22 in. ride needs a sturdy stand. A lightweight boom will sag under it.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 22 in. too big for a first ride?
It is a common size for rock and jazz. A 20 in. is more portable and cuts a little higher. Go 22 if you want depth and sustain.
02Can I crash on it?
You can, but it is a ride first. A dedicated crash-ride responds better to open strokes.
03Does it come with a stand?
No. Cymbal only. You will need a ride stand plus felts and a sleeve.
04How does it compare to a 20 in. ride?
Lower pitch, longer sustain, more wash, more weight to carry. Stick definition on the bow stays the reason you buy a ride at all.
