Light Complex Paper Thin Vintage 1950s Zildjian Hihats 14” 726 810 g THE REAL DEAL

• Here’s the 75-year-old REAL DEAL! Don’t guess at what your cymbals sound like! Have a listen so you can buy with confidence! 
  
  
• These beauties sound like they were plucked right off a Red Garland or Erroll Garner recording. 
  
  
• This particular pair has a light complexity to them while still remaining buttery soft. 
  
  
• For whatever reason cymbal companies have not been able to capture the tone of these over half-century-old original Zildjians….although they keep trying to.
  

• And keep charging $680 for their attempts.
  
  
• Fortunately, no one needs to try to “re-create” a damn thing! This pair of 1950s PAPERTHIN 14s” just IS! 
  
  
• Just create!
  
  
• 726 and 810 grams. That’s pretty damn thin! And on 50s Zildjians. It’s a beautiful thing! 
  
  
• Slightly dry from decades of aging and a golden patina but still with soft warmth.  Dark and whispy. Light, splashy, and airy when opened like on a Count Basie record.  Light RINGO slosh when opened. This is the tone! 
  
  
• This pair has an airy, complex warm tone that is nice and focused when closed. 

• These are the hats that launched thousands and thousands of recordings - in all different styles too.  
  
  
• No issues at all.  Beautifully wavy 1950s Hand Hammered surface. Overall very clean.
  
  
• This is THE SOUND!  No more shopping for replicas and reproductions and re-designs. This is it.
  
  
• Amazing Hihats that are a blast to play!
