Description

The legendary New Beat Hi-Hats are now available in a smaller, 12" size. The Zildjian New Beat Hats are considered the most versatile hi-hat cymbals in the world today. The original design was brought to us by the late, great drummer, Louie Bellson who sought a pair of hi-hats with a solid beat and a perfect all-purpose combination of stick and "chick" sound. It is symmetrically machine hammered and lathed with a traditional wide groove. The result is an exuberant cymbal that bursts with a classic voice that is pure, bright, and expressive.

3. The cymbal was bought secondhand or used in a lease program.
4. The cymbal has previously been replaced by Zildjian.
5. More than two years have passed since the cymbal was purchased.

    I was in need of a top hat after a drummer in the studio took a chunk out of it. The bottom half was unaffected, so I needed a replacement top. So far so good.

    Way back in 1982, I bought two of what were considered to be the finest cymbals in the world...the A Zildjian Medium ride and the 14" New Beat Hi hats. I still have and use them both today, and my New Beat Hi Hats are sensitive enough for light jazz, but, on the other end of the spectrum, loud and powerful enough for hard rock and heavy metal, and their durability is also impressive because with Marshalls and Ampegs on either side of me, I hit them...HARD!! And they're up to the task!! The world's finest cymbals are still...ZILDJIAN!!

    I have the S-series 14" high hats and the top is starting to crack. Can I buy the A-series New Beat 14 " top and use it with the old bottom piece or should I buy the set?

    Keep it as a backup. You should buy the set.
