  • Try as they may, the big companies have not been able to replicate the sound of these Vintage 15” Hi-Hats.

  • Don’t get me wrong, they have wonderful attempts and have made some nice cymbals along the journey, but they don’t do what these Vintage New Beats do NATURALLY.

  • The most recorded cymbals in history, and with good reason. They just do!

  • And these are the harder to find massive FIFTEENS! With a THINNER Top for a great, responsive slightly darker tone. 

  • FAMOUS Classic Hollow Logo -  very clean and crisp sounding. The FAMOUS tone. 

  • No need to go $470 on the modern ones. That’s ridiculous. And you’ll just be guessing at the tone. 

  • These you can actually hear! And they’re gorgeous!

  • This particular pair of 15s harken from the golden era of classic rock - New Beats had only been around a decade and a half and drummers were using them everywhere.

  • Crisp and articulate with a thinner 1023 and 1601 grams espouse the time-honored Thinner Top Heavy Bottom New Beat philosophy - with this pair being extremely crisp, focused and clean sounding but are still warm.

  • Classic 15” New Beat CHICK!! 

  • And being the rare, larger 15s these beauties are darker and lower-pitched than the everyday 14s. Perfect for laying down massive grooves.

  • No need to spend more money on big box store “re-designed” Hi Hats, these are the 40-year-old originals, they do it all.

  • Very clean with a light golden patina. No issues. A JOY to play.

  • Vintage Zildjian 15s” is always in style, and this pair is is very crisp.
