MEINL Cymbals 18" Byzance Vintage Quick Sand Ride - Benny Greb Signature B18QSR

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. Heavyweight.

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.
