Meinl Cymbals B18QSR Byzance Vintage Benny Greb Quick Sand Ride - 18'
- B20 bronze alloy
- Sound notch gives clarity and control
- Influenced by the iconic jazz and funk cymbal sounds
Its unusual sandblasted surface gives it a soft feel and a distinct matte finish. Its low, dark and somewhat dry washy sound isn’t too soft or loud. With its great stick definition and short sustain, you can dig into Byzance Vintage for total control at all times. It’s a sound that fits into any music that isn’t in the upper decibel levels.
Specs
Features:
The Benny Greb signature 18” Quick Sand Ride is influenced by iconic jazz and funk cymbal sounds of the ‘70s and ‘80s. This is a small but heavy ride—modeled after repurposed (and often repaired) symphonic cymbals players typically used during that period. The sound notch and sandblasted surface give the Quick Sand Ride that modified, pre-aged character with impeccable clarity, control, and complex tone. Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze. Heavy weight.
