The fourth cymbal that Meinl officially launched at the 2018 NAMM Show is the Byzance Traditional 21" Polyphonic Ride. It reminds your host, The Orlando Drummer, of Mike Johnston's Transition Ride because of its versatility. It is designed to give drummers a cymbal with multiple zones, that are explained below. Notice how clear and raw the bell of this cymbal sounds.
The Polyphonic Zones There are three different zones that define this cymbal:
the unlathed bell
the hammered and lathed surface and ride area of the cymbal
and the crashability at the edge of the Polyphonic Ride
Your host: The Orlando Drummer Adam Tuminaro takes you through the cymbal below and shows exactly how you can apply the three different zones of the Polyphonic Ride. Below you find more info about Adam and his website that is stacked with lessons, practice loops and much more.
