- Here’s the 70-year-old REAL DEAL!
- These beauties sound like they were plucked right off a Red Garland or Erroll Garner.
- This particular pair has a light complexity to them while still remaining buttery soft.
- For whatever reason cymbal companies have not been able to capture the tone of these over half-century-old original Zildjians….although they keep trying to.
- And keep charging $680 for their attempts.
- Fortunately, no one needs to try to “re-create” a damn thing! This pair of 1950s PAPERTHIN 14s” just IS!
- Just create!
- 754 and 824 grams. That’s pretty damn thin! And on 50s Zildjians. It’s a beautiful thing!
- Slightly dry from decades of aging and a golden patina but still with soft warmth. Dark and whispy. Light, splashy, and airy when opened like on a Count Basie record. Light RINGO slosh when opened. This is the tone!
- This pair has an airy, complex warm tone that is nice and focused when closed.
- These are the hats that launched thousands and thousands of recordings - in all different styles too.
- No issues at all. Beautifully wavy 1950s Hand Hammered surface. Overall very clean.
- This is THE SOUND! No more shopping for replicas and reproductions and re-designs. This is it.
- Amazing Hihats that are a blast to play!
