Meinl Byzance Dark 20'' Big Apple Ride Overview

View this description in German

The Meinl Byzance Dark 20'' Big Apple 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. The washiness doesn't open up immediately, but when it does the projection is loud and intensely dark, with a gritty vintage sound that fades out quickly. The Big Apple Dark Ride works great in contrast with brighter sounding cymbals, or with a dark vintage kit, and suits a wide range of musical styles.

Please Note: The cymbal in the image may be a different size variation than the one being sold.

Earthy, Metallic Tone

In comparison to the Byzance Big Apple Jazz Ride, the Dark Ride features hand-hammering all around the cymbal and has no lathing - as well as being slightly thicker in depth. This makes it distinctly darker and earthier in tone, with more stick projection and raw volume than the Jazz addition. Slower in opening up, the Big Apple Dark Ride produces a dark, roaring natural tone with quicker decay. The stick definition is cutting, with a pearly and metallic sound that is distinct from the washiness of the cymbal. It also works just as perfectly for Jazz, and is simply a matter of preference which Big Apple ride suits you, as they are all equally outstanding in design and sound quality.

Handmade in Turkey

Handmade and hand-hammered in Turkey from B20 bronze alloy, the Byzance Dark 20'' Big Apple Dark Ride was built to endure the force of all playing styles with ease. The dark, earthy timbre and defined stick response is suited to a wide range of musical styles where dark tone and feel are at the top of the ''must have'' list.
