• Here’s a fantastic pair of Vintage New Beats! Just a great all around set of Hihats. Articulate and yet still a pinch complex.  
  • Thin and very, very responsive 840 gram Top Cymbal with a robust 1253 gram Bottom Cymbal. From the late 1960s or early 1970s. They look like they have a bit of that famous 60s hand hammering. 
  • Why go $480 for the modern ones - just trying to imitate these.  They won’t be anything close to this famous tone! 
  • Here we have a pair of crisp, clean-sounding articulate, slightly dry with a pinch of complex SHIMMER, VINTAGE Zildjian New Beat 14” Hihats in fantastic shape! Over beautifully over the last half a century.  

  • THIN TOP with a HEAVY BOTTOM for the great response and tremendous CHICK. 

  • The most recorded Hihats in history. 

  • These 14s” espouse the tone-honored New Beat philosophy of a thin top cymbal coupled with a heavier bottom cymbal to supply plenty of CHICK tone!

  • And that they do!! Crisp, tight, clean, and articulate sticking that is focused - compliments of that 5-decade old golden patina. These beauties are drier and more tight and clean sounding than the $480 new ones - these beauties have aged and focused up beautifully.

  • This particular pair has a light liveliness that floats over the top - just a hint of brilliance to them. I guess they were anointed!  
  • Incredible for recording! Plenty of cutting ability for live situations.

  • That 840 gram top makes them incredibly responsive. 

  • There’s a reason everyone wants Vintage New Beats!  They just do the thing! 

  • No issues. Typical light use with a killer dark patina  Real Deal New Beats - great for anything. 

  • Don’t spend more for less….
