Meinl 14" Byzance Dark Hi-Hat

The 14" Byzance Dark Hi-Hat has a distinctly dark and raw character, combined with a direct and controlled response. Thanks to its unfinished finish, the cymbal retains its natural appearance and a deep, earthy tone. When played open, this hi-hat produces a gritty and organic sound with a characteristic dark undertone. The short sustain ensures that the sound decays quickly and cleanly, while the distinct “chick” provides a solid and defined articulation.

Byzance Dark
The Byzance Dark series is known for its dark, raw character and is entirely hand-hammered. The crashes have a quick response and open up just enough for a powerful accent sound, after which they quickly close again. The hi-hats and rides combine strong projection and clear articulation with the distinctive dark tone of the Byzance Dark series. All models are manufactured in Turkey from B20 bronze and hand-shaped through intensive hammering. The cymbals are not lathed, which preserves the natural surface and creates the characteristic dark appearance. The Spectrum Hi-Hats and Ride are an exception to this and feature a partially lathed surface with a unique spiral pattern.
