The 21" Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Transition Ride Cymbal's look of is one uniquely different from any other Extra Dry ride cymbal we've ever seen. It's look comes from a "half-polished" technique specifically used on the Transition ride. Mike Johnston calls this ride the Transition ride because it has an easy time transitioning from an all out open crash sound to a great, stick-definition rich ride in literally seconds. This would be a great addition to any player's setup with its present, but not overpowering, raw bell. The bottom of this cymbal is brilliant.

Perfect transition from articulate sticking to wide open crashing while never loosing the stick definition. Clear sticking and a present, but not overpowering, bell. Outstanding versatile ride cymbal.
