## Overview

The Meinl Byzance 13-Inch Brilliant Serpents Hi-Hat Cymbal Pair is a hand hammered, Turkish-crafted B20 bronze set featuring a unique reversible design that combines brilliant and extra dry finishes. Developed with drummer Derek Roddy, these hi-hats offer versatile tonal options from sharp and articulate to soft and shimmering, making them perfect for dynamic players seeking both tradition and modern sound flexibility.

## Description

Building on the Traditional line, Byzance Brilliant cymbals are polished to create a mirror-like finish for a stunning look. The sonic result is a slightly refined sound with a smoother, lower frequency response and added shimmer. The Heavy Hammered models feature extra weight for cut and volume. These cymbals are made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and are hand hammered into shape by skilled Turkish cymbal smiths.

Review: Beautiful and versatile high hats!!! - I bought the 14” hats first and then had to get the 13” hats also!! These Serpent HHs are so versatile with no top or bottom cymbal!! One cymbal is traditionally lathed while the other is just hammered!! With the lathed and beautifully polished on top, they are bright, flip them over with the hammered on top they are dark and shimmering!! It’s like getting two pair of hats for the price of one!! They are a bit expensive but are the last hats I will buy and they allowed me to sell 3 other pairs that I have!! Great high hats and beautiful too!!!
Review: Sweet Hi-Hats - These are some really interesting Hi-Hats you have every tone you need with this set. Just switch the top for the bottom and you have a new different set of hats. They can be crisp and defined or heavy and dark. I debated on going with the 13" hats but decided on the 14" glad I did these will do everything I want them to do. They have a nice open sound and great chic sound. Plus they look great. At least they should mine came with finger prints all over them. I didn't send them back because desertcart was out of them.

## Features

- Hand hammered in Turkey from B20 Bronze — combining two cymbal finishes (brilliant and extra dry) the Byzance Brilliant Serpents Hihats are made for players who experiment often with different dynamics and playing styles
- Derek Roddy signature — Byzance Serpents Hihats were developed with Derek Roddy (an avid snake lover as much as a drummer), who was looking for a dual-purpose hihat sound from powerful, brilliant and articulate to soft and extra dry
- Reversable cymbals — the idea behind these hats is that you can interchange the cymbals and dial-in your sound — when the brilliant is on top, these hats give you power and precision — flipping them around gives you a smooth, soft extra dry sound
- Blossoming tonality — roaring to life and finding a comfortable spot in your mix, Byzance Brilliant cymbals have a reactive touch that extends through any dynamic level you put them through
- Modern versatility rooted in tradition — hand hammered into shape in Turkey using cast B20 bronze, Meinl Byzance cymbals are deeply rooted in traditional cymbal crafting methods, yet their old-world background is dialed-in to 21st century needs.Match your Heros — Meinl Cymbals are used by pro drummers like Benny Greb, Anika Nilles, Mike Johnston, Matt Garstka, Raja Meissner, Robert Sput Searight or Jost Nickel
