The Byzance Serpents Hi-Hat Cymbals are hand-hammered from B20 bronze in Meinl's own Turkish cymbal factory. This pair combines an Extra Dry cymbal and a Brilliant finished cymbal in one hihat. Depending on the player's sonic preference, each cymbal can be used either on the bottom or on the top. This makes the 14" Serpents Hihat a very versatile instrument that fits every musical situation.
