Zildjian 14" Z Custom Hi-Hat Pair - 2nd Generation (2001–2009) - Excellent Condition

A very clean pair of 2nd-generation Zildjian Z Custom 14" Hi-Hats from the 2001–2009 era.

Z Custom hats are known for a powerful, bright, cutting voice with strong stick definition and plenty of projection. They are especially well suited for rock, hard rock, metal, and louder live settings where you want the hi-hats to remain clearly defined in the mix.

Weight: 1126g top/ 1446g bottom

Condition: Excellent

• No cracks
• No keyholing
• No flea bites
• Very smooth edges, especially impressive for their age
• No dents or repairs
• Logos remain very well preserved
• Surface patina present, particularly on the top cymbal
• Fingerprints and light handling marks visible on the brilliant finish
• Structurally excellent and fully playable

I also specifically checked the pair for proper hi-hat function. The top and bottom close together normally and perform exactly as intended.

These are used vintage cymbals, so please review all photos carefully, as they show the exact cosmetic condition.

Sonic Splice Notes

This is an unusually clean Z Custom pair for its age. The edges are exceptionally smooth, the logos remain strong, and the only notable wear is cosmetic patina and fingerprints.

Sonically, these are classic Z Customs: bright, powerful, articulate, and extremely capable of cutting through a dense mix. If you are looking for a vintage Z Custom hi-hat pair without the typical heavy edge wear or structural issues often seen on older examples, this is a particularly nice set.
