Its reversible concept positions it as a hi-hat with character, both modern in approach and premium in manufacture thanks to its B20 alloy and artisanal hammering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Hi-Hat Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hi-hat is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert\u003c\/strong\u003e drummers seeking a versatile, expressive, and reliable tool in various contexts. It excels in \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e thanks to its loud volume and presence, while remaining relevant in the \u003cstrong\u003estudio\u003c\/strong\u003e for its richness and control.

This approach multiplies possibilities without changing the setup: a sharper response for articulated grooves, or a wider, enveloping opening for powerful passages. The hand hammering enhances the cymbal's individuality and improves the feeling of control, particularly useful when playing loudly while maintaining definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from \u003cstrong\u003eB20\u003c\/strong\u003e (a copper-tin alloy known for its musicality), this hi-hat develops a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm timbre\u003c\/strong\u003e while retaining a \u003cstrong\u003ebrightness\u003c\/strong\u003e that allows it to stand out in a dense mix. The sound is described as \u003cstrong\u003erich\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003efull-bodied\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-mid pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e : the attack remains clear, the projection is direct, and the harmonics extend naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a \u003cstrong\u003eloud volume\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003elong sustain\u003c\/strong\u003e, it responds particularly well to accented playing (rock, amplified stages), while offering interesting nuances when working on closing, foot pressure, and gradual openings. Depending on the opening, the cymbal shifts from a solid and precise \"chick\" to a broader, textured spread, ideal for coloring a chorus or expanding a groove without losing control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eB20\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003erich, full-bodied\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ehand-hammered\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ehigh-mid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ebrilliant\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eloud\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ereversible hi-hat with 2 distinct sounds depending on the played side\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSustain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003elong\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:5;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTimbre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ewarm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359646863635,"sku":"228127","price":479.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/2d9d73ebbcc0d347cf651882eb877d85c295fa51_MEINL_B19MTC.jpg?v=1789382093","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-crash-byzance-19-medium-thin-228127","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
