The UFIP Est. 1931 Series 15" Hi-Hat Cymbals are a premium, vintage-inspired pair developed in close collaboration with artist Federico Paulovich. Created as a tribute to UFIP’s founding year, these hi-hats deliver a dry, smooth, and warm tonal character rooted in tradition while being perfectly suited for modern music styles. Available at Sky Music Australia, they offer exceptional control and musicality for discerning drummers.

Crafted from Cast Bronze B20 using UFIP’s renowned Rotocasting® process, these hi-hats are fully hand-hammered and fine-tuned for precision. Designed with a smaller bell for enhanced control, they produce a warm, dry “chick” sound with excellent response and articulation. The 15" size provides added depth and fullness, making them ideal for dynamic playing with strong low-frequency presence.

Perfect for both acoustic and contemporary settings, the Est. 1931 hi-hats excel across Jazz, Big Band, Funk, Pop, and Drum and Bass. With their controlled response, soft feel, and rich tonal balance, they are a professional choice for drummers seeking expressive performance and refined sound.
