  • Incredible Hihats right here:
  • Say you like Thelonious Monk, as I do. Or Art Tatum. Or the Everly Brothers. Or Patsy Cline. 

  • Now say you want some Hihats that call to mind something beautiful and soulful and emotive - like those artists and that music. 

  • Just go to a big box store and get some….some…some Hihats that sound NOTHING like Vintage Zildjians.

  • 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 $750 for their attempts.

  • Fortunately, no one needs to try to “re-create” a damn thing! This pair of 1960s Hand Hammered  PAPERTHIN 14s” just IS! 

  • Just create!

  • A very thin 768 and 839 grams. Gorgeous. 

  • 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 a light and lively complexity. Warm and tight when closed. 

  • These are the hats that launched thousands and thousands of recordings - in all different styles too.  

  • No issues at all. Overall fantastic condition with a golden patina. 

  • This is THE SOUND!  No more shopping for replicas and reproductions and re-designs. This is it. 

  • Go open The Cotton Club!
