Zildjian vintage hat. help needed

Posts: 3 Threads: 1

Hello everybody, I found a guy trying to sell this 13" vintage hat. I searched the whole internet for some information and found almost nothing matching to how this cymbal looks like.

The fact is I'd need a dry, jazzy hat, and he still can't send a sound sample, so I really don't know what to do. I listened to many vintage Zildjian cymbals on youtube, many sound amazing and some sucks... somebody help me identifying at least the series this belongs to!

Thanks :)

No one has any idea about it? It's claimed to be from the 60s but the shape looks way older...

My bet is pre 30's easily.....drumaholic is the master of all cymbals...

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....

The stamp, although partly worn away, looks like what Drumaholic refers to as a Type I from the early '30's. The older Arabic script, the lack of the word Trademark under Zildjian, and the lack of a star and moon pretty much pegs it as that.

this doesn't mean it worth much, isn't it?

I'm not sure what your definition of "worth much" is, but this pair is pretty rare I think and probably worth at least several hundred, and maybe a lot more,. But admittedly I know little about the pricing of these hats.
