- What do JR ROBINSON, Clem Burke, Aynsley Dunbar, and Peter Criss all have in common?
- Zildjian 15” QUICK BEATS of course!!! Why the hell pay $480 for the smaller 14s”???
- As you may know, 15” Quick Beats were studio darlings of the 1970s and 1980s. They were on myriad recordings back in the day. And understandably so! They packed a super tight, crisp sound with controlled overtones that were mic-friendly.
- Then many years ago Zildjian ignominiously discontinued them. Which sucks. They’re some of the best hihats they’ve ever produced.
- Fortunately, I happen to have……
- Vintage Zildjian 15” Quick Hihats in excellent condition! Weighing a perfect 1432 and 1728 grams.
- They pack all the bright, tight, cutting ULTRA CRISP tone of the famous Quick Beats but being the larger 15s” they are a bit lower pitched, warmer, darker, and FATTER with a generous playing field.
- Very pronounced CHICK with this pair.
- Often described as:
"Features air-vented, flat-bottom cymbal for accelerated response and clarity. Exuberant Hihats that burst with a classic voice that is pure, bright snd expressive. Quick Beats have an especially quick response with four holes in the bottom that allow quick air release.”
- These hats sound killer. As you can see, the bottom cymbal is FLAT and outfitted with four factory holes that facilitate QUICK foot action with your pedal. Does it really work? Hell yeah. The difference is immediately noticeable.
- With their darker leaning, SUPER CRISP Tone...and I mean SUPER CRISP...and CLEAN, TIGHT attack, these Earlier 15” QUICK BEATS project supremely. And the flat, four holed bottom cymbal is a joy to work with your pedal.
- No issues. Terrific condition. Great dark patina that dries and mellows these 15s out perfectly. Very Roth and focused.
- Hard to find and definitely no longer made!
- Why the hell spends more money on the big box store smaller ones….
