About This Cymbal
The 23” BB Ride is a handmade Turkish ride cymbal. BB is a Custom Shop ride concept inspired by the open, woody and deeply musical ride sounds associated with Brian Blade’s modern jazz recordings.
The Custom Shop is Leon’s special production area for distinctive models, extended concepts and cymbals built around more specific sound targets.
Each Leon cymbal is individually shaped, hammered, lathed and voiced by hand in Istanbul using premium B20+ bronze. Final weight and visual details may vary slightly within the target character of the model.
Usually ready to ship in 2–4 weeks. Production time is separate from shipping time.
