Independent shopping perspective
Meinl’s 15-inch Byzance Dark Hi-Hats bring a dark sound and an earthy, dirty response when played open. Their chick and sustain are both short, keeping the hi-hat response concise after each closure or strike. The untreated, completely unlathed surface gives the pair a raw, natural, unprocessed look. They are handmade in Turkey from B20 bronze as part of the Byzance Dark series.
