Product Description

• Traditional finish with hand-lathed top and bottom
• Warm tonal character with medium sustain and volume
• Wide sound spectrum for its size. Suits Funk, D&B, Fusion, Rock and more

Sound Character

Byzance Traditional offers a warm, full tone with strong dynamic range, letting you shape tone and volume through your touch. This 10" mini hi-hat is thin enough to deliver clear foot chick, yet thick enough for players who want a clear attack and super-fast response.

Construction and Manufacturing

Byzance cymbals are made at Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional craftsmanship. Each cymbal is cast from B20 alloy (80% copper, 20% tin), heated, rolled and cooled following a carefully tested schedule until the correct thickness is reached. The bell is then shaped before hand-hammering forms the cymbal, and the lathed surface is hand-turned before the cymbal is sent to Germany for quality control, sorting and finishing. This combination of Turkish craftsmanship and German quality control is key to Byzance's warm sound and consistent standard.

Who It's For

A great all-round medium hi-hat for players who want one pair that covers multiple genres and settings, from soft jazz comping to higher-volume rock playing.
