RARE 1950s Vintage Zildjian PAPER THIN 15” Hihats 948 1056 g

Absolutely glorious REAL DEAL Hand Hammered Zildjians right here! Beautiful sounding.

PAPER THIN Hand Hammered 15s” from the time when Thelonious Monk’s career was NEW. Literally made within the first few decades Zildjian went from confectionary to American cymbal smiths.
Only 948 and 1056 grams. Wonderfully light and THIN. Tight for a Motown tone. Open them for a beautiful RINGO SLOSH!
They're Hand Hammered all the way out to the edge - beautiful wavy surface in the Classic 1950s fashion.
No modern company makes anything like these. Although they’ll tell you they do for $750
No need to bother with the “re-issues,” “vintage homage,” “throwback light Hihats” and all that.
Just get the originals!
Ultra Papery, whispy, super dark, warm and breathy, with that famous light complexity that put Zildjian on the modern music map nearly a century ago.
They sound like they were pulled right from the Cotton Club.
Hand Hammered and absolutely stunning. Great CHUP tone.
These Zildjians are to be celebrated - for their tone, but also because of what they represent - a piece of American musical and business history.
It’s a joy playing 70 year-old cymbals! You can’t re-issue a life lived.
Very clean. No cracks. Light use/wear on the edge and center hole. Remarkable that they survived the 80s. Very hard to find the 1950s 15s”.
