The Meinl 14 inch Byzance Dual Hi–hat Cymbals showcase a remarkable fusion of contrasting finishes that redefine versatility in modern drumming. These exceptional cymbals feature an innovative design where extra dry and brilliant surfaces meet through a unique combination of hammering and lathing techniques, creating a dynamic and full–bodied sound that adapts to any musical context.
Meinl’s Byzance Extra Dry Dual Hi–hats utilise a specialised approach to hammering and lathing that produces distinctive voicings across wash, pump, and time applications. The centre section of each cymbal remains raw, displaying the hand–hammered markings that exemplify masterful Byzance craftsmanship and traditional cymbal–making expertise.
The outer edges receive careful lathing and buffing to achieve a brilliant, shiny finish that contrasts beautifully with the raw centre. This thoughtful construction creates hi–hats capable of spanning an impressive tonal range, moving seamlessly from cutting and trashy characteristics to dark, dynamic, and expressive qualities that professional drummers demand.
