The Meinl Byzance Medium Thin 16" Hi-Hats Extra Dry Untreated Finish is a set of Byzance medium thin 16" hi-hats, made from hand hammered B20 bronze alloy, with an extra dry untreated finish. With a diameter of 16“, the Medium Thin hi-hat from the Byzance Extra Dry Series belongs among the more exotic of its range. This large cymbal produces a very dark sound with a short sustain and is well suited for Rock, Funk, R&B and Jazz. The special feature of the Byzance Extra Dry Cymbal is that it is formed and hammered entirely by hand and not lathed - instead this cymbal simply retains its natural surface. Together with the big hammer strikes of the Byzance Extra Dry Cymbals, the untreated surface produces an almost esoteric fundamental character.

Meinl Byzance Medium Thin HiHat 16", B16EDMTH, Extra Dry Finish
Where do I start? These hats are simply incredible. They're warm, dark yet very articulate despite their size (16''). Some says these aren't every day hi-hats but they fit in nicely without many different styles of music. Only downside would be that fitting and positioning a 16'' pair of hi-hats can feel uncomfortable at first and requires some getting used to. However, the sheer quality of the sound and craftsmanship outweighs the temporary discomfort... Highly recommended!
