Description

The 15″ Polyphonic Hats balance a tight closed attack with a little air underneath, then open into a darker roar when the part needs more weight. Their thicker raw bells also help give the pedal chick a solid foundation. The 18″ crash follows an explosive opening with a quieter wash, while its unlathed bell provides a separate, cutting accent. On the 21″ ride, the lathed bow gives a clear stick response, the thin edge opens readily for crashes and the large raw bell has a dry, focused voice. These contrasting playing areas make the set handy for grooves that move between precise patterns and open cymbal textures, without needing to reach for another model every time.

  • 15″ Byzance Traditional Polyphonic Hi-Hat Cymbals – pair
