- Incredible sounding Vintage Paper Thin Hihats right here!
- 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 U.S.A.
- Hand Hammered. Hand Crafted. Factory stamped “MEDIUM.” But that’s 1950s MEDIUM - these are quite THIN by todays standards.
- Vintage Zildjian Paper Thin 14” HiHats - this pair has the Hand Hammered look of the 1950s. And it has that tone! The craftsmanship is the famous hand hammered Zildjian with the 50s style steeper profile on the bell.
- Thin gram weights at ONLY 820 and 846 grams. That’s very thin and wonderfully responsive.
- They sound amazing - hand-hammered era, super light and wispy with an airy complexity.
- No modern company makes anything like these. Although they’ll tell you they do for $725.
- 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.
- They sound like they were pulled right from the Cotton Club. Or a Red Garland record. Maybe Art Tatum with Gene Krupa.
- Amazing for recording, or very low to medium volumes. Use them anytime you want the real sound.
- No issues. Deep 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.
