Meinl BYZANCE FOUNDRY RESERVE 15” Hihats DARK Complex Low! 925 1300 g SUPER CLEAN!

15” Byzance FOUNDRY RESERVE. These are Meinl’s Custom, flagship cymbals! Each one unique and Hand Hammered with a traditional no-logo stamp.

And if you can find these 15s”, they’re run you $760 new. That’s what you get for staring at a stock photo guess. Who knows what they sound like or look like. And that is TRAGIC!!!

And I cannot live with such dreadfulness!! And so we don’t live that way here at hazelshould.com.

Factory weights under the bell, 925 over a perfect 1300 grams. Wider golden/sienna lathing with a Hand Hammered, very wavy surface.

Forged in the Old World Tradition, these Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve 15s” yield a dark, low and very complex tone. They’re rife with very deep hammering and offer a smoky sibilance than is unlike anything else in their catalog.

Each pair forged custom. And they have that feel and tone.

Amazing shape. Extremely clean. And nowhere near $760 for a guess.

There’s a reason Meinl has gained such popularity in the last decade: they’re paying attention. And here’s the proof.
