"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 them 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 hihat I have ever played."

Watch a special video produced by Derek Roddy in which he demonstrates his new Serpents Hihat:

The new Meinl cymbal is one of three new Byzance models, the others being a 16" Extra Dry medium thin hihat and a 10" Vintage Splash.
