Zildjian “A. Zildjian & Cie” Vintage 14” Hi-hat Cymbals
These rich and colorful A. Zildjian & Cie Vintage 14” Hi-hat Cymbals summon the memory of “Mr. Hi-Hat” himself, Papa Jo Jones. Extensively hammered to add body and personality, these thin Hi-Hat cymbals are carefully matched for an extremely fast response and maximum “chick”.
Chip Stern, writing in Jazz Times said of the ZILDJIAN A.Zildjian & Cie Vintage cymbals:
“The 14-inch Vintage hi-hats transport one to another time and place, so light, quick and malleable is the sound. Instead of a sharp metallic clink, when pedaling with the foot alone, one gets a soft yet penetrating percussive chip and when manipulating these vintage “sock cymbals” with hand and stick, one evokes the splashy shout and crystalline top-end colorations of big-band jazz, small swing combos and piano trios.
The A. Zildjian & Cie Vintage line constitutes an authentic trip down memory lane for those drummers who cherish the shimmering sound and feel of pre-World War II cymbals. Younger jazz drummers, who’ve cut their teeth on the power and projection of modern-day A. Zildjians, might be taken aback by the speed, sweetness and delicacy of these vintage archetypes.
Never in this day and age did I expect to hear cymbals like this again, and while not for everybody, as the basis for a vintage kit or a subtle change-of-pace sound in a modern setup, they are uniquely musical.”
Thank you, Mr. Stern!
