Beautiful craftsmanship. Putting the cymbal at the forefront of performance. Inspired by the golden age of artisanal cymbals - each cymbal is a masterpiece. The Meinl Byzance 14'' Foundry Reserve hi-hats are instilled with layers of tonality and nuance. With a thin top / medium thin bottom, they produce a crisp, bone dry tone. One that can be heard to the finest detail. Soft or loud - each subtle stroke sings. The 'chick' is crisp; stick definition too. The Foundry Reserve hi-hats shine in any genre where the drum sound is pivotal.
