The Meinl 24" Byzance Big Apple Dark Ride Cymbal is completely unlathed, creating a smoky, earthy sound that will be sure to catch some ears. Its pitch is very, very low with a wobbly, colorful timbre.
This cymbal is most appropriate for music that is nuanced and less aggressive than rock - it doesn't have the dynamic capability to cut through loudly amplified music.
This very large model is even more dark and smokey than its smaller versions, with the capability of becoming quite loud.
