MEINL Byzance Jazz Ralph Peterson Signature Nuance Ride Cymbal with Rivets

Hand-hammered for soft, dry and controlled tones.

The Byzance Nuance ride was developed in cooperation with renowned jazz drummer and Meinl artist, Ralph Peterson. The Nuance ride is the sister cymbal to the Meinl Symmetry ride. It serves as a crash/ride but can also be played as a main ride. Six rivets positioned evenly in one section of the cymbal give it instant sizzle while changing the dynamic of the wash. Spin the cymbal with the rivets positioned away and the wash becomes more prevalent. With the rivets positioned closer, the cymbal becomes drier with more stick definition.

A dry character and complex, slow wash make this cymbal relevant in todays music with a homage to the early era of jazz, R&B, and funk.
