B22JCHR Byzance 22-Inch Jazz China Ride Cymbal (VIDEO)
Description
- Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze alloy — serving two purposes as a light china or a ride, the Byzance 22” Jazz China Ride blurs the line between an effects cymbal and a ride with its pillow soft feel, sizzling, trashy spread and dry definition
- Use as a china — with the lip facing you like a traditional china, this cymbal gives you a soft china effect, aided by its thin weight, for a warm, trashy sound without a harsh attack — eight evenly spaced brass rivets layer a sizzle effect into the wash
- Play on top as a ride — you can place this cymbal on your stand lip side down and ride on the top to blend a different flavor into your ride playing — great as a secondary ride when you need more trashy bite to lift the music
- Refined warm sound — the clean, yet warm and dark tone of Byzance Jazz cymbals comes from a combination of their thin weight and extensively hand hammered B20 alloy — the surface is fully lathed to perfection to give them a smooth response
- Not only for jazz players — their fully lathed surfaces and dark character are ideal for jazz, but these cymbals are at home in any style where effortless touch and complex tone are “must haves”
- Modern versatility rooted in tradition — hand hammered into shape in Turkey using B20 bronze, Meinl Byzance cymbals are deeply rooted in traditional cymbal crafting methods, yet their old-world background is dialed-in to 21st century needs
