  • Here’s a fascinating, gorgeous-sounding pair of Meinl Hihats. Super dry and crisp with a wonderfully organic tone. And they’re the EARLY VERSION too. They have a gorgeous earthen look and organic tone.  

  • A kaleidoscope of deep gold, sienna, chocolate hues on these beauties. And you don’t actually get a chance to hear many of these - it’s mostly a lame drop and ship stock photo - for $570. 

  • Well not chez hazelshould. Listen away so you can buy with confidence.  
  • This is the Byzance version of the ISTANBUL TURK Hihats - or better yet, the Sabian JACK DEJOHNETTE Hihats. 

  • Unlathed, raw and heavily Hand Hammered with a stunning deep and dark patina. 

  • The weight is 1156 for the Top and 1442 grams for the Bottom Cymbal.  

  • They sounds very old-world, dry Istanbul K ish   That’s the vibe - organic with a hint of nasty, hand hammered complexity.

  • ULTRA Dry. Dark. Extremely crisp and focused! Organic and raw. Spectacular! 

  • Meinl describes these cymbals as:
    Untreated finish. Esoteric, dark sound with a dirty, earthy open hihat and a short sustain and chick.”
  • There ya go!! Phenomenal chick! 

  • These are killer hihats - looking and sounding. And they’re the EARLY version! 

  • Mellowed and played in perfectly. NOT harsh like a new pair would be.  These are dried and chilled out.  

  • Goes from a whisper to a roar with ease.  

  • Amazing condition with a naturally built up patina. And not $570 for a guess at tone! Far from it!
