Meinl Byzance Traditional Polyphonic Pratos de choque 15"

The Meinl 15” Polyphonic Hihats are expressive through their varying profile with thin edges and a thicker, unlathed bell. Their medium thin weight in the bow allows them to be very versatile and live up to their Polyphonic name. When closed, these hihats deliver tight grooves with just the right balance of attack and air underneath. When you need power, open them up to hear the unlathed bell add a dark roar to the wash. The bell also provides the foundation for a solid chick with your foot.
Starting with hand-hammering and following with hand lathing in Turkey, the word 'traditional' accurately describes their hand forged shape and deeply rooted sound. The Traditional series features broadest voice for Byzance, with a wide variety of sizes and weights that blend into any musical setting.
