- Absolutely GLORIOUS approaching-a-century-old Hand Hammered Paper Thin Zildjian 15s” right here!
- Iconic. Literally from the FIRST decade of Zildjian U.S.A. And it’s hard to find anything larger than 11” or 13” from this era.
- These 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.
- Ultra THIN Hand Hammered 15s” from the time of Glenn Miller! Literally made within the first few years Zildjian went from confectionary to American cymbal smiths.
- And these are some of the THINNEST Early Zildjian 15s” I have seen.
- Only 758 and 764 grams! That’s would be thin for 14s”. These are 15s.”
- They're Hand Hammered all the way out to the edge - beautiful wavy surface. The top measures a pinch under 15” which was typical for handmade Cymbals back in the 1930s.
- No modern company makes anything like these.
- 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 with a distinctive natural dryness.
- They sound like they were pulled right from an earlier Art Tatum or Louis Armstrong recording.
- 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 90-year-old cymbals! You can’t re-issue a life lived.
- No cracks. Typical Light use on nearly century-old paper thin cymbals.
- Remarkable that they survived the 80s. The end of the road for beautiful Zildjian As.
