About this listing
Here's a pair of Very Thin over half-century-old Vintage Zildjians that sound like they were just plucked off an Oscar Peterson Record.
They are Hand Hammered giving them a terrific light, complexity - BUT they’re very SMOOTH sounding - more so than most.
740 over 780 grams - that is wonderfully thin!
And that’s a beautiful thing when you need a light whispy papery vintage tone - none of this modern stuff masquerading as "vintage" or "vintage reissue" nonsense that costs $700 for an imitation.
Hamd Hammered. Light Papery whispy, very responsive, complex but smooth tone with a subtle lively glow that percolates when opened. Dry attack. Very mellow chill - compliments of the last 60 years that have been quite good to them.
Beautiful CHUP tone when played with your foot. Golden glow when opened. Very light and subtle.
They sound unbelievable under a mic and are fantastic for low to medium volume settings.
Amazing with brushes!
No modern company makes this sound. This is THE SOUND.
It's a joy to play cymbals that are 60 years old. No issues, great shape, gorgeous golden patina.
The sound of jazz, soul, Motown, and early rock and rock.
Right here.
