Posts: 407 Threads: 27

Hi folks - Waiting for these to arrive. Just thought I'd get some input as to the approx age. Took this pic from the seller. What might the age of these cymbals be (15" hi hats). Thanks!

I was thinking 60s as well, so it's nice to have some more opinions. I'll weigh them later.

I received them last night and they are in better condition than I thought when I bidded. I will use them at a rehearsal tonight (can't wait). I'll let you know my thoughts. Thanks!

Great great cymbals! Darker than I've had before, very pleasing open/closed, really great 1/3 open and smashing together. These will fit in perfectly with my worship group.

I agree it's probably 60's, especially by your description of the sound. The one thing that I will say though is that I had a 20" crash/ride that had the "60's stamp," but also had the hollow ink logo, which more definitely places the manufacture between 1978 and '81. Perhaps this is why I was told by Zildjian (and others have heard similar things) to give and take 10 years?
