  • Here's a pair of ultra-thin well over half-century-old Vintage Zildjians that sound like they were just plucked off a Red Garland Record. 

  • Both DRY and paper-y whispy! And these are some of the thinnest 13s” I have ever seen.  And they’re some of the NICEST SOUNDING 13s” you’ll hear! 
  • 606 and 640 grams  - that is really damn thin and a beautiful thing when you need a light whispy papery vintage tone - none of this modern stuff masquerading as "vintage" or "vintage reissue" nonsense. 

  • Hand hammered, wavy surface, ultra-thin weights - pre-Ringo. 
  • Light Papery whispy, very responsive, wonderfully complex tone with a subtle lively glow that percolates when opened.  Dry attack. Very mellow chill - compliments of the last 70 years that have been quite good to them. 

  • Extremely dark and DRY - especially for 13s”. 

  • Beautiful CHUP tone when played with your foot. Golden glow when opened. 

  • They sound unbelievable under a mic and are fantastic for low to medium volume settings. 

  • No modern company makes this sound. This is THE SOUND. 

  • It's a joy to play cymbals that are  75 years old. No issues, great shape, gorgeous patina.

  • The sound of jazz, soul, Motown, and early rock. Right here.
