- Amazing, unique hats right here:
- These could easily have been the PROTOTYPE model for the Zildjian AVEDIS Series 16” Hihats that are now discontinued.
- But these ones here are THE REAL DEAL. Actually Hand Hammered. And 75 years old! No factory patina here - natural one accrued over 7 decades.
- Terrific weights too. Perfect LIGHT HATS!
- Absolutely fantastic sounding dark, smooth, vintage, 7-decade-old Vintage Zildjian 16” Hihats.
- Weighing 1166 and 1062 grams, these 16s offer the perfect Light or Fat Hats tone.
- I’m not sure exactly what or where these originally fit in the Zildjian catalog 70 years ago…who cares. They’re living their best life today paired up! You can switch them up too for a different tone too. I love how they sound right now.
- Both have the 1950s Stamp with the telltale 50s Hand Hammering.
- Well over half-century golden-chocolate-brown patina, has built up, darkened, and dried out these 16s” magnificently.
- Father Time has blessed these huge 16s” giving them a unique, smoothness with a light, subtle, lively complexity - compliments of that hand hammering.
- Very dark, and articulate when closed. Open them for a beefy low pitched accent that cuts.
- Dark, low pitched, super mellowed with a perfect blend of organic dryness and hand-hammered complexity.
- None of this "Vintage-Homage" nonsense, these cymbals have lived a life and they sound like no modern Zildjian hihats. This is the sound Zildjian keeps TRYING to duplicate.
- Amazing shape for being over half-a-century old!
- Don’t pay more money for the regular-big-box store Ks.
- If you want a signature sound, this is how to do it. No one has these.
