  • Gorgeous light and ultra responsive Paiste underrated hihats! 

  • And they’re anything but “Heavy”. That’s laughable. 798 and 1010 grams is pretty thin - much thinner than New Beats and most modern Hi Hats. This is like Kerope weights or less. 

  • And if you’ve been keeping score at home then you know that the Paiste 404s were some of the MOST underrated cymbals they ever made. 

  • They’re like the foul-mouthed cousin to the Giant Beat.  Same alloy, same THIN weight with great response, but surprisingly more complex - a bit dirtier sounding. Which is damn nice because everything Paiste is so fastidiously clean. 

  • Well, these have a pinch of organicness that usually eludes Paistes. 

  • And the patina on these 14s” is super dark drying them out beautifully!! 

  • Light, airy, whispy, delicately complex, incredibly responsive. Very nice warm CHICK. Focused for 404s. 
  • Imagine if Paiste made thin 1940s Trans Stamp Hi Hats out of the 2002 alloy - this would be them.

  • Golden bronze patina. Typical light wear you always find on these ultra thin 404s. No cracks. 

  • Very low to medium volume, terrific with brushes, sing with a light touch. Amazing for recording. Total Aaron Sterling or Steve Jordan very musical vibe.

  • Some of thinnest hihats Paiste ever produced. Sound incredible.
