Hand-hammered for soft, dry and controlled tones.
The Byzance Symmetry Ride was developed in cooperation with renowned jazz drummer and Meinl artist, Ralph Peterson. The hammering, lathing techniques, and bell are all designed to not only give this cymbal a distinct voice, but also to allow the cymbal to be used for many different musical styles. From funk and R&B to straight ahead jazz, it is reminiscent of old school sounds, yet futuristic with its playability, clarity and underlying growl.
A dry character and complex wash make this cymbal relevant in todays music with a homage to the early era of jazz, R&B, and funk.
