  • Stunning HUGE and MELLOW 16” Vintage Zildjians. 
  • These could easily be the PROTOTYPE model for the Zildjian AVEDIS Series 16” Hihats. 

  • But these ones here are THE REAL DEAL. Actually Vintage and actually THIN! 

  • Only 888 and 1080 grams. And Sixteens. That’s very THIN. They’re even crashable! 

  • Absolutely fantastic sounding dark, smooth, vintage, six-decade old Vintage Zildjian 16” Hihats. 

  • Glorious massive THIN 16” Hihats. 

  • I’m not sure exactly what or where these originally fit in the Zildjian catalog 60 years ago…who cares. They’re living their best life today paired up!

  • Both have the 1960s Stamp with the telltale fine golden lathing! Hand Hammered. 

  • Well over half-century golden patina, has built up, darkened, and chilled out these 16s” magnificently. 

  • Father Time has blessed these huge 16s” giving them a unique, smoothness with a light, subtle, lively complexity - compliments of that hand hammering. 

  • Very dark, and articulate when closed.  Open them for a beefy low pitched accent that cuts. 

  • Dark, medium-low pitched, super mellowed with a perfect blend of organic light complexity and that great 60s A light complexity.  Open them fully for a huge RINGO sloshy wash. 

  • None of this "Vintage-Homage" nonsense, these cymbals have lived a life and they sound like no modern Zildjian hi-hats. 

  • This is the sound Zildjian keeps TRYING to duplicate. 

  • Amazing shape for being over half-a-century old. No issues. 

  • If you want a signature sound, this is how to do it.  No one has these.
