• HAND HAMMERED IN TURKEY FROM B20 BRONZE ALLOY: The warm sound and feel of the Byzance 14" Jazz Thin Hi-Hats is rooted in the age-old techniques of making a hammered Turkish cymbal. Creating a buttery "chick" sound with a warm, dark wash when played open, the musicality of Byzance Jazz Thin hi-hats puts them in high demand among top studio and touring musicians.
• SINK YOUR STICK FEEL WITH DARK TONALITIES: The touch and tone of these cymbals, with their soft, buttery, and dark tonalities, add up to a very personalized sound. A closer look at the hand hammering on some models reveals large and deep dimpling that boosts dryness and darkness.
• TRADITIONAL FINISH TOP, UNLATHED BOTTOM: The Byzance Jazz Thin Hi-hat pair consist of a traditionally lathed top cymbal and an extra hammered dry finish bottom cymbal that’s completely unlathed. This combination was chosen to give the hi-hats a softer “whoosh” feeling, especially great for playing on 2 and 4 with the foot in a jazz setting.
• MODERN VERSATILITY ROOTED IN TRADITION: Byzance hi-hats have become an immensely popular choice among top recording and touring artists, as well as clinicians and students. The ability these cymbals have to increase a sense of musicality on the drum kit makes them a highly sought after pair of hi-hats.
