  • These Massive 16” AVEDIS Series 16” Hihats sound absolutely phenomenal! And it’s getting hard to find these beauties today!  They’re not available on the Zildjian site.

  • If you do happen to find a stock photo pair somewhere, these things cost $660, and then you can’t even hear what they sound like!

  • Never chez HAZELSHOULD!! That’s awful! We can’t have that!! 

  • Here's what Zildjian has to say about these Giant Beasts:
    "The Avedis Hihats are a sonic recreation of the vintage "A" sound from the 1950's.  Each cymbal in this collection delivers immense musicality and features a thin, loose, played-in feel with a great balance of bright and dark overtones.
    The A Avedis HiHats feature a Medium Thin bottom cymbal that is a little bit heavier than the Thin top in order to deliver that prominent chick sound.  
    We added a variety of intricate details to make this collection truly something special including its timeless, individual "aged" patina to the classy and understated "Avedis" logo, to the original hollow "Zildjian" logo underneath."

  • Reads like a Robert Frost poem! 

  • Weighing in at a wonderful 1264 grams for the top cymbal and 1302 grams for the bottom cymbal, these Zildjians play and sound like HUGE OLD SCHOOL THIN 16" Hihats.  

  • But this particular pair has a light hint of complexity blended in there!  A bit more than most Avedis Hihats. 

  • Overall dark but still with some nice brightness in there, super warm, amazing VINTAGE SLOSHY Ringo vibe when opened. MASSIVE freight-train-a-comin'-down-the-tracks TONE!

  • And in SIXTEENS!  

  • FAT and super soulful with a DARK, RESPONSIVE, AGED and MELLOW tone that gives them a wonderful naturally broken-in feel!

  • You can’t even get these things from Zildjian. 

  • Amazing shape! No issues at all. Natural patina over the Factory Avedis patina.  Gorgeous 16” Zildjians!
