• HAND HAMMERED IN TURKEY FROM B20 BRONZE ALLOY: The crisp sound and feel of the Byzance 15" Traditional Medium Hi-Hats is rooted in the age-old techniques of making a hammered Turkish cymbal. Creating an unrivaled "chick" sound with a warm, sizzling wash when played open, the musicality of Byzance Traditional hi-hats is nothing short of "must have".
• SMOOTH DEFINITION: Your stick response will be at the forefront, but a unique factor with these hi-hats is their ability to fill out with a complex mix of high and low tones. When played closed, this effect rounds-off your stick definition with a smooth, fizzy blend of notes.
• CRISP HIGHS AND DARK LOWS: The great thing about hand hammered Turkish cymbals is that each one is completely unique, but the overall nature of them is typically earthy and darker.

• 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.
