- Vintage Zildjian Hihats - from literally the first 2 decades of US production.
- Paper Thin 13s” that were forged when BEBOP was a new art form! Literally. And the 13s” are exceptionally hard to find.
- Not long ago Zildjian celebrated their 100th anniversary by releasing some of these types of cymbals…FOR $2000!!! Buy your own white gloves and save money.
- These Zildjians represent the Golden Era of American Cymbal making! Hand Hammered. Hand Crafted, and forged when a new form of music called Jazz had migrated up North and was exploding in New York City.
- Instruments like these 13s inspire me. Yes, of course, it’s the sound of an era - but as far as cymbals go, this is like owning a 17th-century violin. It’s had a LIFE. It represents a craft, an era - but it’s all right here. Tangible. I guess that’s why I majored in history. I love it.
- THIN Hand Hammered Trans Stamp 13s” from the 1940s.
- A stunning 556 and 588 grams. Amazing CHUP tone when played with your foot.
- No modern company makes anything like these. Although they’ll tell you they do for $740.
- No need to bother with the “re-issues,” “vintage homage,” “throwback light Hihats” and all that.
- Just get the originals. The 80-year-old ones.
- Ultra Papery, whispy, super dark, warm and breathy, extremely responsive old-school tone.
- That’s what these insanely thin 1940s 13s” are.
- They sound like they were pulled right from 42nd street. This is the tone that brought musicians to Zildjian’s doorstep.
- It’s a miracle these one survived.
- These Zildjians are to be celebrated - for their tone, but also because of what they represent - a piece of American musical and business history.
- No issues. Great 8 decade old patina. Light typical use. Remarkable that they survived the 80s.
- Hell, it's remarkable they survived the 60s! Hard to find 13s”.
