Meinl Cymbals Benny Greb Signature Byzance Quick Sand Ride Cymbal – 18 inches

The Meinl Cymbals Benny Greb Signature Byzance Quick Sand Ride Cymbal (18″) delivers a unique sound with an unusual sandblasted surface that provides a soft feel and a distinct matte finish. This cymbal offers a low, dark, and somewhat dry washy sound that sits perfectly between soft and loud, making it ideal for genres where nuanced dynamics are key. Featuring great stick definition and short sustain, it allows for total control and versatility, particularly in jazz and funk settings. The Quick Sand Ride is inspired by the iconic cymbal sounds of the 70s and 80s, often created by repurposed symphonic cymbals. The sound notch and sandblasted texture give it a modified, pre-aged character, blending impeccable clarity with complex tones. Handcrafted in Turkey from cast B20 bronze, this heavy-weight cymbal offers a perfect balance of control, tone, and durability.
