Meinl B22EQR Byzance Vintage 22" Equilibrium Ride
A Ride Cymbal Built for Balance, Control and Expression
The Meinl Byzance Vintage 22" Equilibrium Ride is designed with Matt Garstka to deliver a remarkably balanced response across the full dynamic range. Its medium-heavy B20 bronze construction and hand-hammered shaping create a complex, earthy character with a focused attack. The bell cuts clearly through dense arrangements, while the bow offers a defined stick response suited to intricate, progressive patterns. When opened up, it produces a musical crash that blends without overpowering, making it a versatile choice for drummers who move between styles. Across genres from fusion to R&B and modern progressive music, the Equilibrium Ride provides a controlled yet expressive voice. Its medium to long sustain and high-mid pitch give players the articulation they need while still maintaining warmth and depth.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Equilibrium Ride is an exceptional all-rounder for drummers chasing nuance, power and artistic flexibility in one cymbal.
