- RARE ORIGINAL CLEAN, ETCHED Logo Paiste Traditional Medium Light 14” Hihats in terrific condition.
- And these are some of the best sounding ones I’ve heard. Complex but still clean with that inimitable Paiste crispness still present.
- Mellowed and dried nearly 3 decades. Exceptionally warm for this series. Much darker, softer feeling and more complex that the newer model.
- As many a Paiste fan knows, the early Etched Logo Traditionals had a different handiwork and tone than the modern iteration of the series - they were much, much warmer, more complex, mellower, darker, and had a softer feel. And that is exactly the case with these 14s” from the inaugural year of production.
- As far as 14s” go, these are pretty damn dark sounding cymbals and they have more complexity than the modern version.
- The top cymbal has a low profile which contributes to the lower pitch and darker leanings.
- Aged, softer, mellower, played in feel but they look very clean.
- Dark, low-pitched, mellow, very warm. Fantastic chick tone.
- 897 and 1210 grams yield a fantastic chick still with that famous clean Paiste tone.
- The now renowned Traditional Series was a foray into Paiste's dark tones and these hats are from the earliest years of production.
- They've aged beautifully and play like 70-year-old Hi Hats. The new ones don’t do what these do - maybe they will in 30 years.
- Fortunately you need not wait to find out.
