Looking for a rock-solid foundation for your hats? This is a genuine 14" Avedis Zildjian New Beat Bottom Hi-Hat Cymbal from the late 70s “Hollow Logo” era. This is a heavy, vintage, bronze piece of musical history that provides that famous, cutting "chick" sound these hats are known for.
• Condition: Great vintage condition. Original "NEW BEAT" and "BOTTOM" ink is still visible on the cymbal.
• Integrity: No cracks, no keyholing. There are minor flea bites on the edge consistent with age, but they do not compromise the structural integrity or tone.
• Why buy vintage? Aged B20 bronze has a mellowed, complex tone that brand-new $240 replacement bottoms simply don't have. Elevate your sound with this custom gem. These hats don’t resurface everyday.
Price: $80.00
Top Hat Replacement Options:
