Meinl 14" Byzance Dark Hi Hat Cymbals are totally untreated, giving them a dry and dirty tone that is fairly low in pitch. The sustain is nice and short, and every 'chik' will have a deep, earthy character.
These cymbals are recommended for music that is more nuanced and less in-your-face; these cymbals tend to blend very nicely with other instruments for a very tasty sound.
