The Meinl Byzance Brilliant Polyphonic Hi-Hats deliver the perfect balance of definition, warmth, and musical complexity. Part of Meinl’s acclaimed Byzance Polyphonic series, these hi-hats are crafted from premium B20 bronze and hand-hammered in Turkey to produce the expressive tonal range that Meinl is known for.

These 15-inch hi-hats feature raw, unlathed bells paired with finely lathed bodies, creating a sonic character that’s both harmonically rich and dynamically sensitive. Their tight, articulate stick response and crisp ‘chick’ sound sit beautifully in any mix—present enough to cut through, yet never harsh or overbearing. When played half-open or with foot splashes, the hi-hats reveal their true Polyphonic depth, blooming with warm, textured overtones and musical complexity.

Whether you’re grooving in the studio or laying it down live, the Byzance Brilliant Polyphonic Hi-Hats provide a versatile, expressive voice that shines in rock, fusion, pop, or jazz settings. They’re dynamic, full of personality, and ready to elevate your sound.
