Meinl Byzance B13SH-B Brilliant Jazz Serpents Hi-hats

General

The hand-crafted Byzance series of cymbals by Meinl contains many high-quality, professionally finished cymbals. The best thing about them though is that each individual cymbal has a distinctly unique sound, and the 13-inch B13SH-B Brilliant Serpents Hi-hats are no exception. These hi-hats have somewhat of a split personality, as the two cymbals are polar opposites, both in weight and finish - with one having a brilliant finish and the other having a raw, unlathed jazz finish.

You can influence this pair's sound by choosing which cymbal goes on top. The resulting sound can be either bright and smooth, or raw, crisp and warm. Clearly, these Serpents will give you a rich palette with an excellent dynamic range, and because of the weight difference between the two cymbals, you can use a wide variety of different techniques to coax many different sounds from them. These hi-hats will serve you very well in a wide variety of genres and will really help you stand out, thanks to their unique personality.
