MEINL – BYZANCE EXTRA DRY THIN RIDE – 20"

Living up to their name, these cymbals are extremely dry, with low-pitched, trashy sounds and short sustain. The raw unlatched surfaces and extensive hand hammering suggest that their sound might be loud and fierce. In reality, the Extra Dry series reveals its dark, earthy tones and comes to life when played at lower volumes.

This Byzance Extra Dry Thin Ride is the thinner brother to the medium version with more wash and an extremely buttery, soft feeling. This 20" ride has also good crushability due to its thin nature.
