Classic Vintage Zildjian 50s… That’s a lot of work!! Also they’re factory stamped MEDIUM. While these hats are Factory Stamped “Medium”, there is NOTHING Medium about them!! THESE ARE THIN HIHATS!!!! What passed for “Medium” in 1958 is what we call THIN today!!! And check out the lathing on the underside!! Below is a soundfile of the exact hihats for sale. Listen to the soundfile here! Weighing in at a THIN 884 grams for the top cymbal and 886 grams for the bottom cymbal, these Vintage Zildjians play like CLASSIC Old School Thin Zildjians. And at those weights there’s nothing “Medium” about them! DARK, airy, DRY, ORGANIC Classic Vintage Zildjian sound. They’re extremely responsive at lower volume levels (compliments of the thinner weights) and when you open up on them a bit, you get that great Classic Zildjian A Beatles Ringo style wash. The tone that made Zildjian famous!!! Swing, jazz, rock-a-billy, blues, big band, early R&B, barrel-house, jump blues, trio work, Stax recordings, boogie woogie, soul, bar room brawls, folk and The Beatles… That’s what these Thin Vintage Zildjians excel at. Just don’t rock them hard because they will break if slammed upon… And no one wants that. If you want a Vintage tone, then go to the source.
