Meinl Cymbals Byzance 22" Vintage Sand Crash/Ride, Benny Greb Signature — Made in Turkey — Hand Hammered B20 Bronze, 2-Year Warranty (B22SACR)

Crafted to mimic the sound of an aged cymbal, the Vintage voice within Byzance has unique features that simulate the aging process of a cymbal to couple relic sounds with modern appeal. The Vintage line was born from the Sand Ride, a flagship cymbal developed with Meinl Cymbals artist, Benny Greb. Byzance Vintage now includes a wide array of cymbals that have helped to define the Meinl sound. Sand models feature narrow blade lathing and a sandblasted finish, whereas Vintage Pure models are unlathed and raw. These cymbals are made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and hand hammered into shape by skilled Turkish cymbal smiths.

• Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 Bronze — this Ride carefully toes the line of an unfinished cymbal to give you a remarkable raw sound full of depth, darkness and definition
• Pure stick definition — the unfinished surface develops clear stick definition and the subdued, smokey wash stays out of the way to let the bead of your stick shine through
• Light ride — Vintage Pure Light rides respond with a lower tone and slightly grittier attack when compared to the Vintage Pure rides
• Dynamic control — the hammering, sand blasting and lathing combination leaves you with a cymbal that you can dig into with total control at all times
• Increase musicality — Byzance Vintage drum cymbals have become an immensely popular choice among top recording and touring artists.Modern versatility rooted in tradition — Meinl Byzance cymbals are deeply rooted in traditional cymbal crafting methods, yet their old-world background is dialed-in to 21st century needs.Match your heros — Meinl Cymbals are used by pro drummers like Benny Greb, Anika Nilles, Mike Johnston, Matt Garstka, Stu Fagan, Craig Reynolds or Robert Sput Searight
