Unique Aesthetic
Each individual cymbal of the Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve range has a truly one-of-a-kind finish.
The hand hammering process utilised in the making of these hi-hats means that every cymbal is unique.
Each cymbal blank has extra time and additional hammering spent on it to develop a more complex voice.
The hammering process is then followed by full lathing of the top and bottom of the cymbal to complete the stunning cymbal sound.
The top surface of the top hi-hat has intentionally been left free of large logos in order to let the natural beauty of the hand hammering hold its own.
Thin Top, Medium Thin Bottom
The Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve 14 inch Hi-Hats consist of a thin top and a medium thin bottom to deliver a versatile sound that works well in both studio recording and live performance settings.
The well-balanced weight combination serves to provide a responsive playing feel that delivers a sizzling warm tone with great stick precision.
Fat Stick, Open Sizzle, Strong Chick
The combination of the hand hammering and lathing process mixed with the thin and medium thin cymbal weights serves to create a set of hi-hats that offers superbly versatile tone.
Offering a warm, fat stick response, these hi hats offer brilliant precision ideal for intricate stickings.
Playing the hats open delivers a luscious sizzle of sparkling tone perfect for cutting through the mix in live settings or adding weight in the studio.
The 14 inch foundry reserve hi-hats round off their sound brilliantly with a strong foot chick that produces a well-balanced sound full of tonality.
Whether you need the intricacy of jazz and funk, want sparkling open wash for rock settings or require a consistent, solid foot chick to keep your music moving, these hi-hats deliver versatile tone to cover all situations.
