- These are THE THINNEST 1950s 15” Hihats you will find. Ultra Paper Thin. YES that’s a 705 gram top over a 964 bottom. That Top would be thin on 13s”. These are 75 year old 15s”!
- Absolutely glorious REAL DEAL Hand Hammered Zildjians right here! As good a sounding hihat as you will ever hear.
- Super PAPER THIN Hand Hammered 15s” from the time when Thelonious Monk’s career was NEW. Literally made within the first few decades Zildjian went from confectionary to American cymbal smiths.
- They look like 1940s Trans Stamp Hihats - that’s the look and sound.
- A stunning 705 and 964 grams. Wonderfully light and THIN. Tight for a Motown tone. Open them for a beautiful RINGO SLOSH! The chick is right out of an early Oscar Peterson recording.
- They're Hand Hammered all the way out to the edge - beautiful wavy surface in the Classic 1950s fashion.
- No modern company makes anything like these. Although they’ll tell you they do for $700.
- No need to bother with the “re-issues,” “vintage homage,” “throwback light Hihats” and all that.
- Just get the originals!
- Ultra Papery, whispy, super dark, warm and breathy.
- They sound like they were pulled right from the Cotton Club.
- Hand Hammered and absolutely stunning. Great CHUP tone.
- These Zildjians are to be celebrated - for their tone, but also because of what they represent - a piece of American musical and business history.
- It’s a joy playing 70 year-old cymbals! You can’t re-issue a life lived.
-
Very clean. Light use. Larger hole on bottom (makes them fit the modern hihat stand.) Remarkable that they survived the 80s. Very hard to find the 1950s 15s”.
- The thinnest 15” 50s Hihats I have ever seen!
