Meinl Byzance Jazz Thin 14” Hi Hat Cymbals - Traditional Finish

The Meinl Byzance Jazz 14” Thins are an extremely popular choice of hi-hat among top-level performers due to their warm, smooth playability and sweet musicality. Although overall dark and slightly dry in nature, these hi-hats offer up some amazing complementary tones.

These hi-hats are lightweight and as such they open up to full tones at a lower volume - ideal for small venues or intimate performances. This concept has been pushed further by Meinl’s design team; the top cymbal has been fully lathed and mildly hand-hammered, whereas the bottom cymbal is completely unlathed with a heavily hand-hammered finish which enhances its dark, dry features. The combination of qualities results in a softer curve between open and closed position, eliminating harsh transitions and allowing for sweet sounding pedaling.
