  • Some of the cleanest Vintage ones you’ll find right here! 
  • No need to go $500 deep on a new pair of K/Z hihats.  

  • They won’t sound as good as this EARLY BRILLIANT PAIR right here! 

  • These beauties are much DARKER than the newer models - compliments of the No Longer Made BRILLIANT Finish. 

  • This gorgeous pair is clean and are THE ORIGINALS from the 1980s. 

  • THE Early K/Zs are MUCH MORE BALANCED AND EUPHONIC than the later models, especially when they’ve mellowed for 35 years.

  • Zildjian describes these hihats as:
    "K HiHat top with Z Dyno Beat HiHat bottom. Dry, musical stick sound. Bright, sharply defined "chick." 13" highly recommended." 

  • Except this pair is considerably darker sounding for the series - complements of that Brilliant Finish. 

  • And dig that Ealier K hammering  on the TOP too. That ain't a modern Zildjian K. 

  • These K/Z Combo hihats are ingenious. The heavy, unlathed Original Hex Z Dyno Beat Bottom provides a monstrous CHICK. And the thinner, darker, more mellow 80s K Top provides a dark, warmer tone that makes a great counterpart to the bright, heavy Z. 

  • The result is a pair of dark, cutting hihats that are wonderfully versatile. They project extremely well and still maintain the CRISP tone of 13s".

  • A THIN 748 and 1450 grams.  

  • VERY CRISP. NOT HARSH, still project a nice Earlier K warmth. Articulate. Amazing CHICK tone. They still breathe at lower/medium volumes. Darker sounding than the modern ones. Overall semi-DRY. Exceptionally aged and played in for a mellower tone. 

  • The Brilliant ones are hard to find and much darker.   

  • No issues. Light patina/use. Extremely clean considering their age. 

  • These are the Early ones that EVERY Zildjian artist used back in the day. This is the sound. 

  • Don’t spend more for less….
