Earthy darkness and dry definition.

The Byzance Hi-Hat Cymbals have an untreated finish. Esoteric, dark sound with a dirty, earthy open hi-hat and a short sustain and chick.

The Meinl Byzance Dark series is handmade in Turkey using B20 bronze alloy. The surface of the cymbals are completely unlathed. They have a raw natural and unprocessed look.

A Very Unique Sound

I use these in the 14" size as a pair of auxillary hats (mounted on an Axis x-hat...always closed). They are perfect for what I use them for: An extra voice when riding on two cymbals...one being the Meinl hats, the other either my China type or main ride. Nice wash when mounted partially open. Trashy.....a touch dry....an extremely unique sound. but very, very musical at the same time. These hats would certainly work as your main hats. Nice compliment to my 20" Sabian HH China type. Meinl is absolutely high quality. A great sound for the money!!

Increable 14

Ive been looking around for a great pair of hats to replace my ZBT's, and after hours of listening to sound demos on the internet, these were in my top 3.  The only problem was, i couldnt find them anywhere.  This weekend i walked into a random drum store in NYC, and out of nowhere there they were!! As soon as i played them, i knew they were the right hi hats for me.  There a little dark, but  not over the top.  They are so complex and sound great tight and even better half opened. Overall  they sound amazing.  Im happy i got the 14", and I will be enjoying them for years to come.

Awesome Hi Hats. But DON'T CLEAN THEM

These are Amazing cymbals. I picked these up at my local guitar center after researching what kind of hats I should get. They sound great. The Salesman had me compare them next to a pair of K custom hybrids, and they were the clear winner. There was one set of mastersounds in the store that even came close to these. I also use an AAX Stage Hats and the Byzance have twice the cut. Beefy chick, big stick sound, and crunchy/full semi-opened sound. Clear, dark and loud fully opened. My only problem; I tried to clean some marks from the store, and afterwards I didn't want one circle to look different from the rest of cymbal, plus it looked cool with dark hammer marks and bright unhammered section, so I cleaned the whole bottom Hat. When I wiped the Groove juice off,80% of the cymbal turned an almost ashy pink color. I can't change the color back by any means. Luckily, it was the bottom side and I'll just have to wait for it to re-oxidize. The top looks Gorgeous.

Unbelievably Musical

Overall:
These hats are some of the most musical cymbals I've ever played or heard.  They are very expressive; depending on your technique and stick placement these hats range from crisp and dry to wet and gritty.  The open bell sounds are clear and totally usable.  Foot chicks are defined but not sterile.  The slightly open sizzle on these hats is one of the coolest features of all.  You can get a smooth, glassy sizzle by sticking across the top of the hats and you can get a gritty, overdriven crunch out of them by sticking across the lip. In general, these hats have a ton of character and produce sounds to die for.  They're the only cymbals in my entire (substantial) setup that I'd immediately buy again if they were lost, damaged or stolen.  Why are you still reading... go buy these hats!
