Medium-thin, lightweight, and full of handcrafted Turkish character, the protean Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve Flat Ride is a go-to ride cymbal for softer genres, in particular. At low volumes, the clear and pronounced stick definition of this bell-ridden ride can easily keep the pulse. But the more you dig in, the Flat Ride comes to life with earthy undertones and a subtle sizzle that modern players of all forms will quickly take a shine to. Most impressive is this ride’s fully lathed, extra-hammered playing surface, which yields a dry, airy, and complex character that stands out even among the illustrious Byzance series. The Byzance Foundry Reserve Flat Ride excels in both stage and studio situations with a wash that gently supports the music without ever overpowering.
