- Absolutely glorious REAL DEAL Hand Hammered Zildjians right here! Beautiful sounding.
- PAPER THIN Hand Hammered 15s” from the time when Thelonious Monk’s career was NEW. Literally made within the first few decades Zildjian went from confectionary to American cymbal smiths.
- Only 948 and 1056 grams. Wonderfully light and THIN. Tight for a Motown tone. Open them for a beautiful RINGO SLOSH!
- They're Hand Hammered all the way out to the edge - beautiful wavy surface in the Classic 1950s fashion.
- No modern company makes anything like these. Although they’ll tell you they do for $750
- 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 that famous light complexity that put Zildjian on the modern music map nearly a century ago.
- They sound like they were pulled right from the Cotton Club.
- Hand Hammered and absolutely stunning. Great CHUP tone.
- 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 70 year-old cymbals! You can’t re-issue a life lived.
- Very clean. No cracks. Light use/wear on the edge and center hole. Remarkable that they survived the 80s. Very hard to find the 1950s 15s”.
