Meinl has launched of the Benny Greb Sand Hat, part of the Byzance Vintage series hi-hats that feature a sandblasted surface, various hammering techniques and a noticeable weight difference between the top and bottom cymbals. The combination of these elements create an unmistakably crispy and articulate sound.\"This is another member of my cymbal set up which I’m very proud of. The transfer of the Sand Ride sound concept to a hi-hat that combines a vintage sound and look with a modern transparent sound and clarity. The Sand Hat is a fantastic all around hi-hat with lots of finesse and character. A clear sound without being obtrusive. Full of nuances and presence. From a silent whispering sound to a full sonic statement, the Sand Hat does the job perfectly. It’s the most musical hi-hat I have ever heard.\"
