HAND HAMMERED IN TURKEY FROM B20 BRONZE ALLOY: The dry, yet filling sound of the Byzance 22" Extra Dry Thin Ride is rooted in the age-old techniques of creating a hammered Turkish cymbal. With an unrivaled vintage sound and look, the musicality of Byzance Extra Dry Thin Rides is nothing short of "must have".
LIGHT SHIMMER WITH AN EARTHY GROWL: Your stick will bounce freely on the top of the unlathed surface, creating a light shimmering effect that fills the mid to high sonic range. Behind that, an earthy growl from the hand hammered, raw finish gives these ride cymbals a sound that's chock-full of character.
HEAVY MIDS AND DARK LOWS: The great thing about hand hammered Turkish cymbals is that each one is completely unique, but the overall nature of them is typically earthy and darker. This of course comes into play with the Byzance Extra Dry Thin Rides. Their hint of luster is matched with the perfect blend of dark undertones.
MODERN VERSATILITY ROOTED IN TRADITION: Byzance Extra Dry cymbals have become an immensely popular choice among top recording and touring artists, as well as clinicians and students. The ability these cymbals have to increase a sense of musicality on the drum kit makes them highly sought after.

Description

Living up to their name, these cymbals are extremely dry, with low-pitched, trashy sounds and short sustain. The raw unlathed surfaces and extensive hand hammering suggest that their sound might be loud and fierce. In reality, the Extra Dry series reveals its dark, earthy tones and comes to life when played at lower volumes.
