Meinl 21″ Byzance Signature Mike Johnston Extra Dry Transition Ride Cymbal
New in Meinl’s Byzance Extra Dry Series is the 21” Transition Ride, Mike Johnston’s signature cymbal. Both Mike’s and Meinl’s goal was to create a cymbal that can effortlessly transition from articulate sticking to a wide open and tonally fuller crash-ride function (and back) while never losing the stick definition. The result is a multi-puprose ride cymbal with a versatile sound.
The Transition ride has an unlathed and slightly polished top for clear sticking and a present but not overpowering bell. The bottom is lathed and polished to a brilliant finish which allows the ride to move through various dynamic levels with control over the degree of clarity and level of wash.
