Thin, lightweight, and full of handcrafted Turkish character, the versatile Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve Light Ride is your ticket to traditional jazz darkness and symphonic swells and crashes. At low volumes, its dry, defined attack can easily drive a band. But the more you dig in, the Light Ride roars to life with bellowing undertones and a dark wash that modern players of all genres ? rock to metal ? will quickly take a shine to. Most impressive is this ride’s fully lathed, extra-hammered playing surface, which yields darkness, dryness, and complexity never before seen even in the Byzance series. The Byzance Foundry Reserve Light Ride shines under the scrutiny of the studio light with a clarity and purity that balances well with the rest of the kit and a touch response that will inspire any drummer in its presence.
