Bearing a unique design with a bite taken out of one side, the Meinl Byzance Vintage Benny Greb Quick Sand Ride is the brain-child of Mr. Benny Greb himself. What does the missing bit do to the sound? It means that Meinl have been able to increase the weight while retaining the smaller 18 inch diameter, so you're looking at masses of stick definition and superb overtone control. Hear it for the first time, and you won't believe the impact that this one-off ride can have. The sandblasted finish, meanwhile, supports a dry wash and sets up this ride to back up dynamic drumming, whether you're playing pop, jazz or funk.
