Meinl Cymbals 22 inch Byzance Vintage Sand Crash-Ride Cymbal

22" Ride Cymbal with Rivets Made from B20 Bronze - Sandblasted

Benny Greb's Ride of Choice

A chimera of raw hand-hammering and sandblasted fine lathing, the Benny Greb Meinl Byzance 22" Sand Crash-Ride combines the light wash and woody ping of a vintage ride with the bell definition of a heavier cymbal. Three rivets along the outer edge provide just the right amount of "glue" from note to note. Drummers at Sweetwater noticed that the transition from ride to crash was completely seamless, too — digging in reveals a beautiful buttery wash, undergirded by thunderous, growling undertones. The sandblasting on this cymbal is breathtaking and must be seen to be fully appreciated. Adorning the upper bow of the Meinl Byzance 22" Sand Crash-Ride is Greb's autograph/caricature — a nice touch for Greb devotees.

Engineered to sit in a mix

Like all of Meinl's Benny Greb signature cymbals, the Byzance 22" Sand Crash-Ride is designed to play well with other performers. This cymbal sounds great in practically any setting, from live jazz and blues to studio rock and metal.

Benny Greb's ride of choice

Before discovering the Sand Crash-Ride, Greb was content to constantly swap out rides on his studio kits. "For me, the ride is the most important cymbal in my drum kit," he says. "It has to have character. It defines the overall sound of the drummer and the whole band immensely." But tasting is believing. The Sand Crash-Ride has the woody definition, smooth wash, and clear bell to serve just about any choice of song. "I have now found the cymbal that combines all of my expectations into one fantastic ride."

"For me it's simply THE Ride." — Benny Greb
