Byzance Vintage Sand Hat Hihat

Another addition to my cymbal set up of which I’m very proud. The transfer of the Sand Ride sound concept to a hihat: the combination of a vintage sound and look with a modern transparent sound and clarity. The Sand Hat is a fantastic all around hihat with lots of finesse and character. A clear sound without being obtrusive. Full of nuances and presence.
From a silent whisper to a full sonic statement, the Sand Hat does the job perfectly. It’s the most musical hihat I have ever heard.

Have fun! I am curious what you will come up with.

Generation X Trash Hat Effect Cymbal

Tadaaaah! My Trash Hat that I mostly use as an x-hat on my right, but can also be used on a regular hihat stand to create totally new sounds. Stay creative!
