For sale: a legendary pair of Zildjian 13" Quick Beat Hi-Hats. This specific set dates back to 1996-1997 (identified by the laser-etched stamp from that era), offering that sought-after vintage A Zildjian vibe and crispness.

Sound & Design:
The Quick Beat series is famous for its fast, dry, and extremely precise "chick" sound. The heavy bottom cymbal features four patented laser-cut air holes that eliminate airlock, resulting in an instant pedal response and incredible stick definition.

Condition:

  • Structural: Excellent. No cracks, no keyholing, and no fleabites. The edges are perfectly smooth and round.
  • Visual: The cymbals show natural signs of use and patina. Some of the ink logos have faded or worn off over time, which is common for Zildjians of this vintage.
  • Maintenance: These cymbals have never been cleaned with harsh chemicals. They have only been maintained using natural methods, preserving their original tonal characteristics and natural aging process.

A perfect choice for funk, fusion, pop, or studio work where a tight, controlled hi-hat sound is required.
