Byzance Brilliant Serpents Ride

Swift, delicate, accurate, powerful, mystical, intense, scary. These terms also describe the adaptations of my new Serpents Ride. Perfectly adaptable in its natural world: Music.

Byzance Brilliant Serpents Hihat (NEW)

The Serpents Hats are the perfect hihat for me. They have an "oversized" sound without being... well, oversized, a super "fuzzy" sound when played open and an articulate and crisp sound when played closed. Need another sound for another type of gig? Then turn these bad boys over and experience a totally different sounding set of hats, that is much softer and less dramatic. They fit in every musical situation. Truly, the most versatile hi-hat I have ever played.
