Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
These 14-inch, thin Byzance Dual hi-hats use two distinct playing areas on both cymbals: a raw, unlathed center and a lathed outer edge. At lower volume, the center is designed to control overtones and add depth; when played open, the outer edge is intended to project and create a shimmering spread. Hand hammering and partial lathing give the pair a deliberately contrasting raw-and-finished feel under the sticks.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lower-volume hi-hat playing where controlled overtones and added depth are useful.
- Open hi-hat passages that call for a broader, shimmering projected sound.
