- It doesn’t get much better than this! Perfect RINGO THIN EARLY 1960s FIFTEENS - aged over half a century.
- This is the sound that floats in our consciousness because this is the sound we’ve all heard for the last 7 decades of rock, soul, pop, blues, and jazz music.
- Factory stamped “HIHAT” in the Old School font!
- Try as they may, the big companies have not been able to replicate the sound of these DARK and HAND HAMMERED 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 nearly 70-year-old Zildjians do naturally.
- Perfect Paperthin 1960s FIFTEENS - aged well over half a century and still in wonderful shape!
- Incredible craftsmanship on these! Hand Hammered with a rippled surface!
- If you’re a RINGO fan, these are the REAL DEAL.
- This particular pair has a beautiful, golden lathing and it supplies a lovely light complex dark smoothness.
- Dark. Papery. Whispy. Ultra warm and smooth. A pinch of light complexity that has been chilled out for 60 years. Lower pitched 15s”!
- Only 976 grams for the Top Cymbal and 1066 grams for the Bottom Cymbal. That makes for an unbelievably responsive and dark-sounding pair of 15s” that still provide an old-school CHUP - they sound like they’ve been plucked off a BLUE NOTE Jazz Recording…or a Beatles album. Perfect warm slosh when opened.
- Some of the greatest sounding Hihats around. It’s ridiculous to spend more money on “vintage homage” tones when you can have the ACTUAL VINTAGE TONE that’s not masquerading as anything else.
- No issues. Typical use. Great shape. Amazing for studio and live, and anything musical. 1960s Zildjian As and The Beatles are always in style.
- And these are the rare 15s. No need to keep searching.
