Meinl 14 inch hi-hats with strong character
These 14 inch hi-hats from the Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve collection immediately show what this series is about: a complex sound with multiple layers of tones and nuances. The combination of extra hammering and a shaved finish gives a highly articulated, dry stick attack with deep dark low undertones.
Meinl also describes that character as "the roar". If you want a hi-hat that does not sound flat or standard, this pair offers plenty of personality and a clearly audible dark foundation.
Byzance Foundry Reserve finish and response
Visually, the deep and distinctive hammer marks stand out and put the craft of cymbal making front and center. That extra hammering creates deep craters across the surface and plays a major role in the sound profile of these Meinl hi-hats.
The limited Byzance Foundry Reserve collection is made for drummers who deliberately choose nuance, articulation and an impressive look. At Magna Music, you can count on advice from people with real hands-on experience in drums and cymbals.
