About this item

  • Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze alloy — the Byzance Traditional 23” Heavy Ride is all about pinpoint definition, volume and a complex tone — the coupling of these sonic features gives you a nuanced, heavy ride sound
  • Fully lathed surfaces — Byzance Traditional cymbals are fully lathed to give them a classic sound and look — some of the deeper hand hammer craters are visible, but the surface has been lathed down to smooth perfection for an effortless touch
  • Clear and pronounced bell — a mark of any good ride cymbal is having a bell that is easily activated and punches through with clarity — the bell on this ride sits on top of the mix of the cymbal, giving you a pronounced high frequency sound
  • Blossoming tonality — roaring to life and finding a comfortable spot in your mix, Byzance Traditional cymbals have a reactive touch that extends through any dynamic level you put them through
  • Modern versatility rooted in tradition — hand hammered into shape in Turkey using cast B20 bronze, Meinl Byzance cymbals are deeply rooted in traditional cymbal crafting methods, yet their old-world background is dialed-in to 21st century needs
  • Manufacturer disclaimer — typographical or grammatical errors found in the bullet point or description text on this product page are a result of this site’s system and are neither the fault of the manufacturer nor marketplace sellers


Starting with hand hammering and following with hand lathing in Turkey, the word “traditional” accurately describes their hand-forged shape and deeply rooted sound. The Traditional series contains our broadest voice for Byzance, with a wide variety of sizes and weights that blend into any musical setting. These cymbals are made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and are hand hammered into shape by skilled Turkish cymbal smiths.

It has been less than 3 years since i bought this very great sounding cymbal, but i did not use this cymbal for 1 year and a half. This cymbal is already breaking, i thought these cymbals were expensive for a reason. I do not tighten this cymbal and there is no reason for it to start breaking in less than 3 years. It is a great sounding cymbal, but i would not buy meinl again. 1 year of constant use.

The cost was as good as anywhere else, and I always trust Amazon. I would purchase again. Shipment was on time.
