14" Byzance Vintage Pure Hihat. The Vintage Pure Hihats feature a dry and very direct stick sound. Strong sticking response over deep and dry darkness. When played by foot they respond instantly with a cutting chick. Complete tonal control with a distinctive and earthy look. Byzance Vintage Pure cymbals are created by a process in which the metal becomes very flexible. While this character gives them a unique response, slight deformations may occur at the cymbals edge. Such changes are within the accepted standards of this cymbal and will not affect the sound. Therefore, slight deformations at the edge are not covered by the warranty.
