Used Meinl Byzance Vintage 14" Equilibrium Hi-Hats

The Used Meinl Byzance Vintage 14" Equilibrium Hi-Hats deliver a carefully balanced combination of crisp attack, clear articulation, responsive feel, and full-bodied open tones. Designed with Matt Garstka, these signature hi-hats offer the definition needed for intricate patterns while retaining a rich, expressive voice.

Clear Definition and Responsive Feel

These 14" hi-hats produce strong stick definition with a precise closed sound that keeps detailed patterns clear and controlled. When played partially or fully open, they respond with a broad, slushy bark that adds depth and energy without sacrificing articulation.

Signature Equilibrium Design

Constructed from B20 bronze and hand hammered for an individual character, the Equilibrium Hi-Hats feature selectively lathed areas that add brightness and response. Their sandblasted surfaces contribute to the dry, vintage-inspired sound, appearance, and feel associated with the Byzance Vintage Series.

Versatile Musical Character

The balance of attack, tone, response, and volume makes these hi-hats suitable for progressive music, fusion, rock, funk, studio recording, and other styles that demand both precision and expressive open sounds.

Condition

These hi-hats are pre-owned and may show normal cosmetic wear from previous use, including stick marks, fingerprints, patina, or light surface discoloration. Please review all available photos for complete condition details.
