The hihats for sale are indeed for It has two videos that display the product. I think the video refers to the media that displays the product. These cymbals are great, and you can use them in many situations. It sounds great and looks great. I have used them for jazz rock pop and blues.

Can you tell me how heavy these cymblas are? This is gram. ?

Especially large cymbals may be heavier. Those that are hand hammered will vary greatly in weight. As far as I can tell, They weigh less than other cymbals I have owned, however since I don't own them anymore, I can't even give you an approximate estimate. They sound and play great, and that's what I can tell you. If you need an answer to a specific question, you should contact Meinl.

Selected User Reviews For Meinl Cymbals Byzance 14" Dark Hihats, Pair — MADE IN TURKEY — Hand Hammered B20 Bronze, 2-YEAR WARRANTY, B14DAH

The hi hats in this group are very versatile and can be used in almost every circumstance
5/5

My first greetings go out to all of you A hat is a gorgeous piece of clothing. On the bottom, the handrails are lathed, and on the top, they are raw. As well as giving the hi hats an individual sound, this makes them stand out. I think that these hi hats sound tremendous and that they are some of the most versatile hi hats available right now. Hi hats such as these can be used both in jazz and rock music. Both hi hats and hats do not require ear piercings. In the closed position, the hi hats have a fantastic chick sound that sits low in the mix, in the high mids or low highs. It is because of this feature that the hi hats are soft on the ears. As a result of their holes in the bottom of the hi hats, these hi hats produce a warm, slightly trashy sound when open. I believe these are some of the best hi hats I've owned, and they are my main hi-hat This is a hat I will wear for a long time to come.

A sound that is uniquely yours
5/5

This pair of 14" Byzance cymbals is amazing! It has a unique crisp chick & cheese taste There's something trashy about this This is an extremely pleasant song to listen to. It forces you to switch between the open and close effect in order to play with its elements. This is a definite must have, it's classy.

I love you sweetheart Wear a hat
5/5

They are some of the most interesting Hi-res images I've ever seen Having this set of hats gives you access to every tone you could need. With just a simple switch of top for bottom, a completely new set of hats will appear. It can be clean and crisp or it can be murky and heavy. It was hard to decide on the 13" hats but I decided on the 14" and I'm glad I made that decision. They will do everything I need. Having an open sound and a wonderful chic sound is what sets them apart. It is also visually appealing. As long as they have fingerprints on them, at least that is what should happen. Since they were out of stock at Amazon, I did not send them back.

A magnificent hat that is warm, complex, and quite nice
5/5

Open, the tops produce a really rich sound, and closed they are tight and versatile. I've found that slight changes in the way the tops are played can affect the sound dramatically, which is nice when you want to switch it up without drastically changing your Their unique harmonies stand out even in a rock context without being grating or too excessive. I don't think I've ever owned a pair of better hats and this cymbal is probably my favorite,.

I like this instrument very much
5/5

Buying this cymbal suits my needs as I play small venues and it has sufficient cut to add to my bandmates' sounds but it doesn't overwhelm them. She works well with brushes and is a great chick.
