- Say you like Red Garland, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, as I do. Or Art Tatum. Or the Everly Brothers. Or Patsy Cline. Early Elvis. Eddie Cochran.
- Now say you want some actually Hand Hammered 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 over $$650 for their attempts.
- Fortunately, no one needs to try to “re-create” a damn thing! This pair of 1950s PAPER THIN 14s” just IS!
- Just create!
- This particular pair is VERY dark, DRY and smooth sounding.
- 771 and 813 grams. That’s pretty damn thin! And on 50s Zildjians. Gorgeous. Hand Hammered.
- DRY from decades of aging and patina. Dark and whispy with a balanced mellowness. Light, splashy, and airy when opened like on a Count Basie record. Light RINGO slosh when opened. This is the tone!
- These are the hats that launched thousands and thousands of recordings - in all different styles too.
- No issues at all. Absolutely amazing 60-year-old patina.
- This is THE SOUND! No more shopping for replicas and reproductions and re-designs. This is it.
