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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect Paperthin 1960s FIFTEENS - aged well over half a century and still in wonderful shape!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncredible craftsmanship on these!

Lower pitched 15s” with a super dark patina that dries them and makes them wonderfully articulate. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly 997 grams for the Top Cymbal and 1076 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThin.
