Meinl Byzance 22" Big Apple Dark Tradition Light Ride

The Big Apple Dark Tradition Light Ride combines elements from multiple cymbals for an expressive voice that is well balanced with loads of character and responsiveness. Starting with the small bell, which all Big Apple rides have for controlled overtones, it is shaped with a steep bow and combined with an unlathed top to create a “woody” stick definition. The bottom is then fully lathed, allowing the thin cymbal to open easily for lush crashes while providing a warm bed of undertones to support the stick definition on top.
