1970s Zildjian 14" New Beat Bottom Hi-Hat – Used

SKU: ZIL-NBB14-70S-USED

This used 1970s Zildjian 14" New Beat Bottom Hi-Hat cymbal is a true vintage gem, offering the classic weight, feel, and sound that made the New Beat series a gold standard in hi-hats. Known for its solid "chick," defined articulation, and perfect balance of cut and warmth, this bottom cymbal pairs beautifully with a wide range of tops. Built in the legendary Avedis Zildjian era, it features a heavier weight typical of the period and shows signs of honest age-related wear, but remains in excellent playing condition with no cracks or keyholing.
