About this item

Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 Bronze Alloy — with its abilities as a ride matched by its capacity as a crash, the Transition Ride is made for crash-riding with its articulate, dry definition and controlled, yet filling and smooth wash | Mike Johnston signature ride — The Transition Ride was developed with renowned drummer and instructor, Mike Johnston, who was looking for a ride with a seamless transition from articulate stick definition to a wide-open crash | Extra dry top with brilliant underside — the bottom side is finely lathed and topped with a brilliant polish to add shimmering glow to its dry, earthy and growling character from the raw top surface — this also improves both clarity and crash-ability | Articulate bell with special finish — the bell of this ride is clear and present, activating the whole cymbal as you play — the bell and top side of this cymbal are lightly polished to give the cymbal a smooth touch and stunning look | Raw yet refined — Byzance Extra Dry cymbals appear to be raw, but their design and sound is highly refined through extensive hand hammering — this is one of the most intriguing voices within the Byzance family that attracts many drummers.Designed for power, nuance and definition — these cymbals punctuate while adding loads of texture with fine stick definition — at low volumes, they deliver an earthy, mellow sound, and they can reach explosive status when laying into them with intensity.
