The new ride C2 (C Squared) has been designed by Chris Coleman and the Meinl development team and perfectly encompasses the nuances that Chris seeks in each of his rides in a single and powerful cymbal 21.. Starting from a rather heavy B20 bronze tablet, and thanks to the artisan work, Meinl achieves a steep curvature. The combination of weight and shape provide this amazing ride a great articulation and definition of drumstick. The holes of the outside are little usual on rides but are fully designed to control the wash cymbal as well as the sustain that cymbals of these measures often generate. The cowbell has enough thickness to produce a cut tone, the hammered of the rest of the cymbal print a warm tone. The finish of the cymbal it's raw and the combination with the outer holes will make it unnoticed by adding it to your set.

The alloy

The series Byzance de Meinl is manufactured in Turkey with the famous B20 alloy and scrupulously following all the steps with which for centuries are manufactured the best cymbals of the world. This B20 alloy is composed of 80% copper and a  20% tin, a alloy that can be difficult to work as it requires a great reworking and recollecting due to its natural state that is very fragile.
