  • Absolutely fantastic sounding Hihats! Real Deal 15s” that are a half-a-century old! 
  • Try as they may, the big companies have not been able to replicate the sound of these Vintage 15” Hi-hats. Don’t get me wrong, they have wonderful attempts and have made some nice cymbals along the journey, but they don’t do what these Early New Beats do naturally and effortlessly! 

  • The most recorded cymbals in history, and with good reason. They just do! They just SOUND right! 

  • Have a listen to this exact pair do you can buy with confidence! 

  • These particular huge beauties harken from the EARLY YEARS of New Beats - these beauties look like they’re from the late 60s or very early 70s. 

  • And they’re the rare FIFTEENS! This particular pair is a bit more complex than most too. 

  • Only 935 over 1576 grams which espouses the time-honored Thin Top / Heavy Bottom New Beat philosophy. But in this case that top is THIN making them wonderfully dark. 

  • Famous Responsive. Cutting. Fantastic CHICK tone. 

  • And being the rare, larger 15s these beauties are darker and lower-pitched than the everyday 14s. Perfect for laying down massive grooves.

  • What’s great about this specific pair is that they have a beautiful light complexity that you only find on the Early version New Beats.  They just made them differently back then. 

  • So familiar to the ears!  This is the tone that launched thousands and thousands of hit records.  
  • No need to spend more money on big box store “re-designed” these are the 50-year-old originals, they do it all.

  • Great patina. No issues. Vintage Zildjian New Beats are always in style.  A JOY to play.
