MEINLByzance Traditional 22" Monophonic Ride
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Meinl's 22-inch Byzance Traditional Monophonic Ride brings together a bright, clear top and a darker roar underneath. Its thin bronze body is fully lathed, hand-hammered, and finished in a traditional/raw treatment. Beyond its ride voice, it delivers an Oriental-style crash sound. The stick response is described as soft and buttery, with a yielding feel that lets the cymbal's low, dark tonal character come through. Large, deep hammer marks on some models contribute added dryness and darkness.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players seeking a 22-inch ride with clear top-end definition over a darker underlying response.
- Adding an Oriental-style crash sound alongside the cymbal's primary ride voice.
