To fully appreciate the aged character, trashy sound and sonic presence of distinctive, handmade Byzance Extra Dry Medium Hihats, you simply have to play them for yourself. You won't be disappointed with the percussion effects and creative results you can achieve.

Don't let the phrase "extra dry" fool you either. Far from sounding dead and cavernous, these distinctive hihats are lush and lively with dominant lows that impart an organic character when you play.

The natural, untreated finish on the Extra Dry Medium Hihats combines with an unlathed playing surface that's liberally dimpled hammer marks to enable the extremely dark sound and short sustain. Only the bell crown isn't hammered. The thin, lightweight top responds quickly to stick and brush strokes with little wash, while the bottom cymbal is heavier for a defined, fat chick.

A study in old world style and craftsmanship and a wonderful addition to your drum set, Extra Dry Medium Hihats are endorsed by top drummers around the world and really are fun to play around with. They’re expertly handcrafted in Turkey from drummer tough B20 bronze alloy that holds up to repeated strikings no matter what style of music you opt to play.
