Stunning hihats right here - some of the best I have.
- Say you like Thelonious Monk, as I do. Or Art Tatum. Or the Everly Brothers. Or Patsy Cline.
- Now say you want some Hihats that call to mind something beautiful and soulful and emotive - like those artists and that music.
- Just go to a big box store and get some….some…some Hihats that sound NOTHING like Vintage Zildjians.
- For whatever reason cymbal companies have not been able to capture the tone of these over half-century-old original Zildjians….although they keep trying to.
- And keep charging $600 + for their attempts.
- Fortunately, no one needs to try to “re-create” a damn thing! This pair of 1960s Hand Hammered PAPERTHIN 14s” just IS!
- Just create!
- A wonderfully thin 749 and 882 grams. Gorgeous.
- Dark and whispy. Light, splashy, and airy when opened like on a Count Basie record. Light RINGO slosh when opened. This is the tone!
- This pair has a light and lively complexity but that 882 gram bottom yields a stunning CHICK tone!
- These are the hats that launched 1,000,000 recordings - in all different styles too.
- No issues at all! Glorious golden patina that mellows them. Overall very clean for half-century old.
- This is THE SOUND! No more shopping for replicas and reproductions and re-designs. This is it.
- Go open The Cotton Club!
