Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Byzance Traditional series follows the tradition of handcrafted Turkish cymbals: B20 alloy, hand shaping, hammering, and lathing designed to achieve an organic and musical response. Within the Meinl range, this family is often chosen for its balance between traditional character and modern versatility : a cymbal capable of covering many contexts without losing the warm and nuanced grain that defines the "made in Turkey" series.
Who This Cymbal Is For
This 22-inch Ride is aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers seeking an expressive cymbal with real control under the stick. It excels in styles where a "present but not overpowering" ride is desired: Rock, Pop, Fusion, R&B, Reggae, and Studio work. Its medium to low volume and soft touch also make it an excellent choice for controlled stage settings, TV sets, or environments where dynamics need to remain elegant.
