15 inch hi-hats with a wide dynamic range
The Meinl Byzance Traditional 15" Polyphonic Hi-hats give you plenty of room for dynamics and articulation. Their 15-inch size is larger than standard, bringing a fatter tone, more presence and a wider range that helps these hi-hats sit clearly in the mix.
Play lightly and you get a warm, dry response with clear definition. When you dig in harder, these Meinl hi-hats open up with a raw, layered sound where multiple tonal dimensions remain audible at the same time.
Meinl Byzance Traditional with hand-hammered build
Both the top and bottom cymbals are hand hammered, which comes through in the lively, organic response. The Byzance Traditional finish and the handmade production in Turkey give this Meinl hi-hat a distinct character that reacts strongly to the nuances in your playing.
The B20 bronze supports the musical and expressive nature of this pair. That makes this 15" hi-hat a good match for drummers who want more than a tight standard sound and like to move between closed chicks and open, expressive accents.
Versatile hi-hats for studio and stage
The polyphonic sound makes these Meinl hi-hats suitable for styles ranging from jazz and indie to funk and rock. If you play across different genres and use a wide range of touch, the musical and unpredictable character really stands out.
For drummers who build their setup with care, this is a hi-hat pair with a clear voice of its own. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from musicians who know how details like this can shape a drum kit.
