MEINL Byzance Traditional Extra Hammered Hi-Hat Cymbals - 14 in.

The MEINL Byzance Traditional Extra Hammered hi-hat cymbal pair makes an immediate impression, not just for its look but for the way each cymbal feels purpose-built for expressive playing. The light top cymbal, shaped with a steep bow, brings crisp articulation and fast response, while the heavier bottom adds grounding weight and clarity to both stick and foot patterns. Crafted in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and shaped through extensive hand hammering, these hi-hats offer a textured, organic character that rewards subtle phrasing as much as assertive timekeeping. Together, they deliver a versatile, handcrafted voice that adapts easily to changing dynamics and musical settings.
