Crafted with a slew of features like a lighter, evenly-matched weight on the top and bottom cymbals, balanced B20 alloy, and a combination of traditionally lathed and finished inner cymbal surface with a raw, overhammered outer cymbal surface, the Meinl 16" Byzance Extra Dry Medium-Thin Hi-Hats afford warm, vintage tones reminiscent of recordings from the '50s and '60s.
