Dry and Dark Ride Sound – MEINL 20″ Byzance Extra Dry Thin Ride Cymbal
The MEINL 20″ Byzance Extra Dry Thin Ride Cymbal produces a dry and controlled tone. It delivers a dark character with minimal overtones. As a result, it fits detailed and expressive playing styles.
Highly Articulate Stick Definition
This ride cymbal provides clear and precise stick response. In addition, the thin weight increases sensitivity and dynamic range. Therefore, every stroke remains defined and expressive.

Raw Finish for Maximum Dryness
The unlathed surface enhances dryness and reduces resonance. Moreover, it creates a raw, earthy tonal character.
