Meinl Cymbals B13SH-B Byzance 13-Inch Brilliant Serpents Hi-Hat Cymbal Pair (VIDEO)

Building on the Traditional line, Byzance Brilliant cymbals are polished to create a mirror-like finish for a stunning look. The sonic result is a slightly refined sound with a smoother, lower frequency response and added shimmer. The Heavy Hammered models feature extra weight for cut and volume. These cymbals are made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and are hand hammered into shape by skilled Turkish cymbal smiths.

• Hand hammered in Turkey from B20 Bronze — combining two cymbal finishes (brilliant and extra dry) the Byzance Brilliant Serpents Hihats are made for players who experiment often with different dynamics and playing styles
• Derek Roddy signature — Byzance Serpents Hihats were developed with Derek Roddy (an avid snake lover as much as a drummer), who was looking for a dual-purpose hihat sound from powerful, brilliant and articulate to soft and extra dry
• Reversable cymbals — the idea behind these hats is that you can interchange the cymbals and dial-in your sound — when the brilliant is on top, these hats give you power and precision — flipping them around gives you a smooth, soft extra dry sound
• Blossoming tonality — roaring to life and finding a comfortable spot in your mix, Byzance Brilliant cymbals have a reactive touch that extends through any dynamic level you put them through
• Modern versatility rooted in tradition — hand hammered into shape in Turkey using cast B20 bronze, Meinl Byzance cymbals are deeply rooted in traditional cymbal crafting methods, yet their old-world background is dialed-in to 21st century needs.Match your Heros — Meinl Cymbals are used by pro drummers like Benny Greb, Anika Nilles, Mike Johnston, Matt Garstka, Raja Meissner, Robert Sput Searight or Jost Nickel
