Meinl Byzance Dark 22 Big Apple Ride

The Meinl Byzance Dark 22 Big Apple Dark Ride is a completely hand-hammered and unlathed ride cymbal with a raw vintage visual style. The thin depth and unlathed surface make for a natural and earthy tone with dark complexities and cutting metallic stick definition. When the wash fully wakes up the projection is loud and intensely dark with a gritty vintage sound that fades out sharply. The Big Apple Dark Ride works great in contrast with brighter-sounding cymbals or with a dark vintage kit.
