The 21” Byzance Foundry Reserve Flat Ride combines the articulation that flat rides are known for with the rich complexity of the Foundry Reserve. The result is a flat ride that is full of character and will work in many settings. The 21” size plus the medium-thin weight makes this a versatile ride which is perfect for situations where subtlety and shading is needed as much as straight forward clarity. The extensive hand-hammering builds in a robust character that many flat rides do not exhibit.

Other cymbals may generate darkness, but HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear – and projects it. It gets you heard. And felt.

Blanketing their superb stick definition is a sustain that plays out with just the right amount of strength and balanced wash.
