Description

Byzance Foundry Reserve

• The 21” Byzance Foundry Reserve Flat Ride combines the articulation that flat rides are known for with the rich complexity of the Foundry Reserve. The result is a flat ride that is full of character and will work in many settings. The 21” size plus the medium-thin weight makes this a versatile ride which is perfect for situations where subtlety and shading is needed as much as straight forward clarity. The extensive hand-hammering builds in a robust character that many flat rides do not exhibit.¹

Byzance Jazz

• A clear, sweet ping with a subtle hum, little build-up and a long sustain. Excellent for low to medium volume situations.³

Byzance Traditional

• Defined stick response with a fairly dark and dry sound. Sizzling ping with a shimmering, long sustain.²
