- Here’s a sound that’s ever-present in our minds:
- Paper THIN Vintage 1960s Hand Hammered Zildjian Hi Hats with that famous airy, complex tone.
- Sound like an early Beatles recording or Marvin Gaye record. That’s the tone.
- Someone showed these beauties some love at the ol’ factory! Gorgeous old school 60s lathing and hammering. And then Father Time showed them love. The patina on these is gorgeous.
- Factory stamped “Medium” and “HIHAT” but very far from medium at these weights. These are THIN.
- For whatever reason cymbal companies have not been able to capture the tone of these half-century-old original Zildjians….although they keep trying to, but Zildjian ain’t hand-hammering these days - far from it.
- But they keep charging $650 for their attempts.
- Fortunately, no one needs to try to “re-create” a damn thing! This pair of 1960s Hand Hammered Thin 14s” just IS!
- Just create!
-
746 and 878 grams. Wonderfully THIN and complex. This pair has a bit more light and lively airy complexity than most.
- Tight, focused, and MOTOWN crisp when closed, perfect RINGO SLOSH when opened. Sturdy Jazz-style CHUP when played with your foot.
- These are the hats that launched 100000 recordings - in all different genres too!
- No issues. Light use with a glorious half-century-old patina that mellows them beautifully.
- Vintage 1960s Zildjian Hi Hats with an inimitable light complexity.
- THE SOUND!
