Description

Byzance Brilliant

• A brilliant, bright sound, based on the highly polished surface and bright finish. A wide dynamic spectrum.¹

Byzance Traditional

• Fast, quick responsive hihats with an energetic, controlled open sound and a defined, warm, cutting chick.²

Classics Custom Brilliant

• Fairly bright and warm stick response with a smooth crisp open hihat sound. Tight and pronounced chick sound. Balanced hats with a versatile range.⁴

Pure Alloy

• The Meinl Pure Alloy hi-hats cover all dynamics from a quick, responding staccato to slight sizzle to full bodied energy.³

Soundcaster

• Smooth and voluminous open hihat sound with a defined chick. Wide dynamic spectrum with an outstanding warm character.⁶
