The Korena take

Byzance Big Apple Dark 15-inch hi-hats are a hand-hammered cast B20 bronze pair made in Turkey. Their fully unlathed, raw surface exposes the bronze beneath an oven-blackened look. Built around texture, nuance, and complexity, they bring clarity and cut to intimate venues while keeping a dark, mellow character. The thin, lighter-weight profile gives the player a mellow, elastic feel, making these hi-hats especially suited to jazz and lower-volume settings.
