MEINL Cymbals Byzance Brilliant Polyphonic Hihat - 15"

Wide dynamic spectrum with a soft, warm sound. Unobtrusive and controlled open hihat sound with a crisp chick.

Stunning contrast of extra dry and brilliant finish with a unique combination of hammering and lathing. Versatile and dynamic with full-bodied sound.

These hihats are expressive through their varying profile with thin edges and a thicker, unlathed bell. Their medium thin weight in the bow allows them to be very versatile and live up to their Polyphonic name. When closed, these hihats deliver tight grooves with just the right balance of attack and air underneath. When you need power, open them up to hear the unlathed bell add a dark roar to the wash. The bell also provides the foundation for a solid chick with your foot.

Light top cymbal with steep bow and heavy standard shape bottom provides strong stick and foot control with clear response. A great blend of definition and warmth. Medium-thin weight. Hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze.

Their hammered and lathed surfaces, warm sounds and selection of models may be very traditional, but these cymbals are the ultimate choice when it comes to versatility. Rides with a buttery-soft feel. Crashes that range from dark and shimmering with thin models, to powerful and focused with heavier ones. Traditional tone and sonic individuality come together in each of these cymbals.
