  • DRY. Super tight. Crisp and articulate with an incredibly fast response!

  • And they’re 70 YEARS OLD!! Hooray!! That’s just fun.

  • 1950s Zildjian 12” Hihats in fantastic condition. 

  • And being the elusive 12s”, these play and respond much faster and are more clean and bright than the standard 14s” and even 13s.”   
  • 847 and 873 grams offers the perfect crisp and cutting attack while the 7 decades of aging makes them much more focused and euphonic than new cymbals. I don’t see any logos, I’m not sure what the designation was back in the day but these Zildjians make fantastic hats.  

  • Very responsive and delicate with a light but focused HISS when opened. Incredible CHICK when closed - even stronger than your standard New Beats. These beauties cut without clanking! 

  • DRY. Controlled. Tight. Focused. Semi-dark for 12s”  Quick. Delicate but not paperthin. 

  • No nicks, cracks dents etc. Glorious well-over half-century old patina. 

  • Perfect as Main hihats or auxiliary hihats. Amazing for recording, drums and bass, R&B. Radiohead - just great sounding 12s”! 

  • Nothing like these 50 year old beauties today! These has AGED! They sound amazing. And they’re less than the regular big box store New Beats.
