A hi-hat cymbal with crisp attack and versatile dynamics.
The MEINL Byzance Brilliant polyphonic hi-hat set brings a confident, articulate feel that comes directly from its hand-hammered build in Turkey. These 15" B20 bronze hi-hats combine thin outer edges with a thicker, unlathed bell, giving them a shape that reacts quickly while staying firmly controlled. Their fully lathed brilliant finish is buffed to a high gloss, naturally smoothing the top end so the hats settle into a mix without losing presence. It’s a straightforward, detail-focused design that reflects the precision MEINL puts into the Byzance series.
Brilliant Finish Softens High Frequencies for Smooth Blend
Byzance Brilliant polyphonic hi-hats begin with a fully lathed surface that delivers a classic cymbal feel before being buffed to a reflective shine. This process subtly reduces high-end buildup, creating a wash that stays more controlled than what you’d hear from a traditional finish. The result is a tonal profile that blends cleanly across a variety of playing environments.
Thin Edges and Heavier Bell Shape a Versatile Response
These MEINL polyphonic hi-hats use a contrasting profile—thin edges for sensitivity and a thicker, raw bell for added articulation. The thin edges respond quickly under lighter touch, while the heavier bell provides clear definition when more presence is needed. Together, they create an adaptable set of hats that respond naturally to shifts in dynamics and feel.
