- Very clean 1950s Hihats right here! And they’re early 1950s too. They play like Trans Stamps from the 1940s. Don’t guess at your cymbal purchase! That life sucks! Have a listen to this exact pair so you can buy with confidence.
- Absolutely gorgeous sounding super PAPER THIN 14” Hi Hats from the first few decades of Zildjian USA. Literally.
- This pairing represents the Golden Era of American Cymbal making! Hand Hammered. Hand Crafted., and forged when Jazz had recently migrated up North and was exploding in New York City.
- Early 1950s Vintage Zildjian ULTRA Paper Thin 14” Hi Hats - this pair has the Hand Hammered look of the 1940s Trans Stamp Hihats. And it has that tone!
- Thin gram weights at ONLY 737 and 756 grams. That’s very thin and wonderfully responsive.
- They sound amazing - hand-hammered era, super light and wispy with an airy complexity.
- No modern company makes anything like these. Although they’ll tell you they do for $680.
- No need to bother with the “re-issues,” “vintage homage,” “throwback light hi hats” and all that.
- Just get the Vintage actually hand-hammered beauties.
- Ultra Papery, whispy, super dark, warm and breathy, extremely responsive old-school tone.
-
Delicate light and complex shimmer floats above the top with a subtle 50s light brightness.
- They sound like they were pulled right from the Cotton Club. Or a Red Garland record. Maybe Art Tatum with Gene Krupa.
- These Zildjians are to be celebrated - for their tone, but also because of what they represent - a piece of American musical history.
- Amazing for recording, or very low to medium volumes. Use them anytime you want the real sound.
- No issues. Extremely clean. It’s remarkable that they survived the 1980s. Typical light wear/use. 75 years old.
- You can’t re-issue a life lived. This is THE SOUND that made Zildjian famous.
