Part of the Meinl Byzance Jazz series and created with personal input from internationally renowned drummer Wolfgang Haffner, this thin, lightweight, large diameter 22” china ride isn't just for grooving to jazz music situations as its name implies. While true that it's perfect for expressing the natural vintage sound and dark tones of classic club jazz, if you limit this china ride to just that one type of musical environment, you're really doing it a disservice and missing out on the ride's full percussion potential.

The Jazz China Ride cymbal has an exotic, trashy sound with a soft feeling and none of the ping. It's capable of delivering a smooth, sizzling ride or a slow, swelling crash and encompasses the wide dynamic range drummers appreciate. For you, that means it's bold and brash enough to take on lots of different genres including blues, ballads, fusion and pop. With its complex blend of sounds and nice large spread, it's very responsive and easy to control with a smaller or heavier stick.

Handcrafted in Turkey of durable B20 bronze alloy and distinguished by Meinl's signature hand-hammered detail and the sizzle of four rivets.
