Meinl Byzance Traditional 22" Polyphonic Ride — B22POR

The Meinl Byzance Traditional 22" Polyphonic Ride (B22POR) is a masterclass in versatility. Handcrafted using Meinl's renowned Byzance B20 bronze alloy, this ride is built for drummers who demand multiple voices from a single cymbal — whether you're washing across a jazz ballad, crashing into a chorus, or cutting through with a dry, focused bell.

Key Features

• Multiple playing zones — crash, ride, and bell each deliver a distinct, usable voice
• Rapid crash response — opens up quickly and fully when crashed, with a rich, washy sustain
• Full wash when ride playing — complex, dark undertones that breathe with your playing
• Raw, oversized bell — produces a clear, dry, cutting sound that cuts through any mix
• Traditional finish — classic Byzance aesthetics with warm, dark tonal character
• 22" diameter — ideal for medium to large kits and a wide range of musical styles

Who Is It For?

The B22POR suits jazz, fusion, rock, and session drummers who want one cymbal that can do it all. If you've ever wished your ride could crash convincingly without losing its definition as a ride, this is the cymbal for you.
