  • Perfect pair for a studio right here!  THINNER TOP. DARK AND DRY TOO.  

  • Damn!!! New, NEW Beats are $430 now!

  • For the redesigned ones trying to imitate what these Vintage ones do effortlessly!

  • And this particular pair is from the FIRST FEW YEARS OF PRODUCTION. And they have a tight and articulate DRYNESS to them. 

  • Bottom has the very early Factory Stamped “NEW BEAT HIHATS.” Early New Beats only had the bottom Cymbal stamped.  

  • This is a terrific pair for recording - they’re dried out and mellow and surprisingly dark too. A must have for a studio. 
  • The most recorded Hi Hats in history.

  • THIN 846 Top Cymbal, and a fairly thin 1195 gram Bottom Cymbal.  These 14s” espouse the tone-honored New Beat philosophy of a thin top cymbal coupled with a heavier bottom cymbal to supply plenty of CHICK tone!

  • And that they do!! Crisp, tight, clean, and articulate sticking that is focused - compliments of that 5 -decade old patina. These beauties are drier, darker l and more tight and clean sounding than the $430 new ones - these beauties have aged and focused up beautifully.

  • Incredible for recording! Responsive.  Plenty of cutting ability for live situations. 

  • There’s a reason everyone wants Vintage New Beats!  They just do THE THING!! 

  • The awesome dark patina that focuses them. Beautiful looking and sounding.  Very light wear around the center hole. Doesn’t affect a thing. 

  • Real Deal dry EARLY New Beats from the 1960s with a thinner top. 

  • Don’t spend more for less and a guess…
