Description

top: 770g bottom: 932g The Vintage 1960s Zildjian 14-inch Avedis Hi-Hat Pair represents one of the most iconic and sought-after eras in cymbal manufacturing, hand-crafted in the historic Avedis Zildjian factory in North Quincy, Massachusetts. Forged from Zildjian's legendary sweet-sounding B20 bronze alloy during the mid-to-late 1960s (often featuring the classic "transitional" or "stamp" hollow-block/small-stamp logos of the era), these cymbals are celebrated for their organic, buttery feel and exceptionally musical voice. They deliver a warm, dark chick sound when closed and a shimmering, complex wash when opened up. Unlike modern, machine-rolled cymbals, vintage Avedises from this decade possess unique tonal character shaped by hand-hammering and decades of aging, making them an indispensable studio and live tool for jazz, rock, and classic funk drummers.
