Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built around a medium-thin top and heavy bottom, these 14-inch Byzance Traditional hi-hats pair crisp stick and pedal definition with a fast response. Their steep-bow design, cast B20 bronze, and extensive hand hammering give the pair an organic, textured character. They suit drummers who want their hi-hat work to respond to both restrained phrasing and firmer timekeeping.
