Description

Its unusual sandblasted surface gives it a soft feel and a distinct matte finish. It’s low, dark and somewhat dry washy sound isn’t too soft or loud. With its great stick definition and short sustain, you can dig into Byzance Vintage for total control at all times. It’s a sound that fits into any music that isn’t in the upper decibel levels.

The original Sand Hat idea dates back to the year 2010 when Meinl Cymbals debuted the Byzance 14″ Vintage Sand Hats. Now a 16″ version of the same hihat has been developed together with Benny Greb, paying tribute to new musical trends and customer requests for a bigger sized Sand Hat.

„I was using the prototype version oft he 16″ Sand Hats in the studio for year as a beautiful option when I needed a warmer, broader hihat sound, while at the same time keeping everything alive that I love about the 14″ version,” comments Benny Greb. „Now I can share this great sound with you too, and I am very excited about it.”
