[The prototype model "R&D" cymbals i mported from the Meinl Factory in Germany are now in stock!] -Staff comment- This prototype features a Vintage Pure hi-hat with eight holes drilled on the bottom with a sound wave finish (wavy finish), and the entire top and bottom are sandblasted, as used on models developed in collaboration with Benny Greb. The sustain is even shorter than the base model, and the added earthiness creates a unique sound and visual impact. ●Byzance Vintage Series Made from B20 bronze alloy and hand-hammered for superior sound. Vintage sound, look, and feel. This model further expands the realm of dry cymbals. Based on the traditional Turkish sound achieved by meticulous hand-hammering by cymbal craftsmen, unique surface finishes such as oxidation and oxidization bring out the vintage look, feel, and trash sound. If you're looking for an ultra-dry, extremely responsive, short-sustained, organic vintage sound, this is the model for you. The Vintage Pure Hi-Hat is characterized by its dry, deep darkness, medium weight, not too low pitch, crisp foot play, and excellent stick response. It also has a perfectly controlled tone and a unique, earthy look. Size: 14 inch pair Weight: Top 965g/Bottom 1400g Show more
