  • Incredible sounding Vintage Paper Thin Hihats right here! And 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” HiHats from the earlier decades of Zildjian USA.

  • Hand Hammered. Hand Crafted. 

  • Vintage Zildjian ULTRA Paper Thin 14” Hi Hats - this pair has the Hand Hammered look of the 1940s and 50s and has the 50s stamp. The craftsmanship is the famous hand hammered Zildjian with the 50s style steeper profile. 

  •  Thin gram weights at ONLY 784 and 820 grams. That’s very thin and wonderfully responsive. Can reverse them for a slightly different.

  • Super light and wispy with an airy complexity. 

  • No modern company makes anything like these. Although they’ll tell you they do for $700. 

  • 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. 

  • Amazing for recording, or very low to medium volumes. Use them anytime you want the real sound.

  • No issues. Deep darker golden patina. At this weight it’s remarkable that they survived the 1980s.

  • You can’t re-issue a life lived. This is THE SOUND that made Zildjian famous.
