Fascinating Zildjian HiHats right here. They look and play like 1940s Trans Stamps but have the 60s stamp. Why the he’ll spend more money on modern K Cons when you have have the REAL DEAL for less.
- Here's a pair of ultra-thin over half-century-old Vintage Zildjians that sound like they were just plucked off an Oscar Peterson Record.
- 612 and 711 grams - that is really damn thin! Like some of the THINNEST 1960s hihats you will ever find. Ever.
- And that’s a beautiful thing when you need a light whispy papery vintage tone - none of this modern stuff masquerading as "vintage" or "vintage reissue" nonsense.
- Hand hammered, wavy surface, ultra-thin weights.
- These 60s hats play like 1940s Trans Stamps. That’s the vibe. They may been forged in the 40s or 50s and remained at the Zildjian factory for decades and were stamped later - apparently Zildjian sometimes did that.
- Light Papery whispy, very responsive, wonderfully complex tone with a subtle lively glow that percolates when opened. Dry attack. Very mellow chill - compliments of the last 60 years that have been quite good to them.
- Beautiful CHUP tone when played with your foot. Golden glow when opened. Very light and subtle.
- They sound unbelievable under a mic and are fantastic for low to medium volume settings.
- Amazing with brushes!
- No modern company makes this sound. This is THE SOUND.
- It's a joy to play cymbals that are 60 years old. No issues, great shape, gorgeous patina.
- The sound of jazz, soul, Motown, and early rock and rock.
- Right here.
- Some of the papery thinnest ones you’ll ever find.
