Meinl Byzance Traditional Medium 14” Hi Hat Cymbals - Traditional Finish

There comes a time when all you need is a reliable, sweet sounding pair of hi-hats that give you everything you need without trying too hard.

Meinl’s Byzance Traditional 14” Medium Hi-Hats combine well-balanced playability with a precision hand-hammered finish that results in a smooth, rich sound suitable for most genres of music. It's a familiar, well-loved sound that just seems to sonically ‘fit’ whatever environment it is dropped into.

The Byzance Traditional Hi-Hats are expertly and amazingly… average. Exactly what they were designed to be. They sit in the mid-range of every conceivable hi-hat cymbal quality we can think of, and that's where its strength lies. Good volume, good sustain, crisp musical ‘Chick’, warm open wash, a mid-bright timbre, and a mid-high pitch, good response, a medium weight… enough of everything to be a great cymbal, but not too much of anything so that its ever obtrusive. It knows its place well and sits there perfectly.

You would be mistaken to think these hi-hats were average - they are brilliantly and perfectly average, a goal a lot of other cymbals strive for but never reach.
