The lighter version of its counterpart, the 22" Byzance Vintage Pure Light Ride Cymbal is an extra dry cymbal with a vintage flair and a hint of trash and darkness in the tone. Being created by a process which makes the metal extra flexible and remaining unlathed gives the cymbal a uniquely low pitch with a clear contact sound and a quick decay.
This cymbal is a medium-to-low volume cymbal and has a medium-thin weight. It has a short decay and has a distinctive raw finish. This cymbal can bring a fresh sound to many genres, but it is designed specifically for fusion, jazz, pop, electronic, and studio recording.
