Meinl 14" Byzance Vintage Equilibrium Hi-Hats 919/950g

The 14" Meinl Byzance Vintage Equilibrium Hi-Hats (B14EQH) are Matt Garstka's signature Hi-Hats. These Hi-Hats strike a unique balance of attack, tone, response and volume. Various sections of each cymbal have been lathed for brightness or left unlathed to enhance the attack and bite, while other areas are sandblasted to achieve an overall dryness. Additionally, the bottom cymbal has six holes around the bell which help to increase the foot chick. From sloshy, open volume to a crisp, tight attack, a papery feel under the stick, and a strong chick, these hi hats cover a wide range of dynamics and work in multiple situations. "When I play an instrument, I want it to work in every situation. These hi-hats do that in a perfectly balanced way, and that's why I’ll be playing them for many years." - Matt Garstka
