Meinl Byzance Mike Johnston Signature Transition Ride 21 in.

The MEINL Byzance Mike Johnston signature Transition Ride delivers the perfect transition from articulate sticking to wide open crashing while never losing stick definition. Dark and warm undertones with just the right amount of sustain give this cymbal instant character. Let it swell or play in close with fast, precise sticking while always maintaining presence. The bell is clear and cutting but not overpowering, while activating the whole cymbal to blend all of its characteristics into a musical accent. The bottom of the cymbal is finely lathed up to the bell in order to allow the cymbal to deliver a true crash sound. A partially polished top adds a touch of shimmer and a stunning appearance. Their hand hammered and lathed surfaces with warm sounds and selection of models may be rooted in tradition, but MEINL Byzance cymbals are the ultimate choice when it comes to modern versatility. Every Byzance model is hand hammered into shape by cymbal artisans in Turkey, giving each cymbal its own unique and colorful voice.
