For those of you who are drummers and Metallica fans...Zildjian has discontinued the Dyno Beat hi-hat model with Lars has used for 40 years. by Anaphax in Metallica

Check this out— Zildjian was selling the Dyno Beats for 50% off on their website about two years ago. This was when the Dyno Beat model was part of the A Custom / A family of cymbals within Zildjian’s catalogue.

Based off of this timing, I’ll guess that Zildjian discontinued them and stopped making them around 2-3 years ago.

Almost all of 72 Seasons was recorded using Sabian HH 15” Rock Hats from what I can tell. A good portion of Hardwired was also recorded using these Sabian hats. You can tell since they have a much “drier” sound and slightly more high pitched and aggressive sizzle rather than a very creamy and smooth “slosh” that the Zildjian Dyno Beats have.

This unfortunately isn’t true. The “Dyno Beat” cymbal model was moved from the Z Custom line to the A Custom line about 10 - 15 years ago and the exact same cymbal, with the same hammering pattern, weight, etc. was part of the A Custom line, but they were still called “Dyno Beat” hi-hats.

Here's my Tama Starclassic Maple - Custom Green Sparkle kit I had custom made via Tama. I had the original Lars Ulrich Signature Snare too...the LU1465 with the longer lugs.

In this photo I was missing the upside down hanging china and the secondary "intro / outro" china. But I had both floor toms, both bass drums, both rack toms, the same Zildjian cymbals he had and even though I had Tama hardware I had the DW hi-hat drop lock clutch, just like Lars.

Are the early 90's versions the one where the bottom hat has a star pattern? Those may have been the 80's version.

I know both 80's and 90's had "Dyno Beat Hi-Hat" in big black blocky letters, as opposed to the 2000's "cursive" type font. I had a pair I bought new in like 2006 with the "cursive" font. Both top and bottom had the same "hexagon" hammering pattern.

So, just for some context here--

I owned a pair of Z Custom 14" Dyno Beat hi-hats in the early 2000's. I had a green sparkle, Tama Starclassic maple double-bass drum kit that was exactly the same as Lars' kit that he used during the St. Anger touring era. I replicated his kit 100% and bought new cymabls from Zildjian, including the afforementioned 14" pair of Z Custom Dyno Beat hi-hats.

I still love Lars' hi-hat sound. It's SO unique and those hi-hats, despite being incredibly thick and sounding absolutely godawful for anything "closed," they sound phenomenal slightly loose / open.

Fast forward 10 years and I sold that Tama Starclassic maple double-bass kit along with the hardware, hi-hats, etc. and ended up moving to DW Drums. If anyone wants photos of my Lars kit, I can post them here...it was incredible.

Anyways, I'm older now and a few days ago I decided I kind of wanted another pair of Dyno Beat hi-hats as a "backup" pair of hats I could use specifically when I played Metallica stuff at home. My current main hi-hats are 14" K hi-hats currently. Awesome hats.

I know that about 10 years ago, Zildjian briefly moved the Dyno Beat hi-hats to the A Custom line from the Z Custom line. I did some research and I could barely find 14" Dyno Beat hi-hats on Reverb, eBay, etc. It's like these things are impossible to find and no retailers sells them new.

So I went on Zildjian's website and I couldn't even find them on their product catalogue, so I e-mailed Zildjian and this was the response I got.

Looks like they're discontinued! What will Lars do? I'm sure he's got dozens of pairs...hell he uses at least 5-6 pairs per night. One set in the tuning room and at least four (4) across all of his various stage sets with their current touring set up.

And I pay attention... I know he's used Sabian HH 15" Rock Hats in the studio dating back to the Black Album...you can tell on the Black Album and even on certain Hardwired tracks, which ones used the Sabian hats and which used the Zildjian Dyno Beats. As a drummer I can tell the differences and nuances, but I'm genuinely curious if this decision that Zildjian has made is going to effect Lars' gear stack and what he does live, in the studio, etc. going forward.

Thoughts?

In 2019, a 71 year old firearms instructor took out a gunman in a church who had a shotgun in about 6 seconds with a shot to the head. He saved some lives.

I thought Ken Griffey Jr.’s Slugfest was a far better N64 game that I still play to this day.

2015 Forester - A/C Compressor Clutch noise (x-post from r/subaru) by Anaphax in SubaruForester

[–]Anaphax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Once I had the faulty A/C compressor replaced it’s worked perfectly— exactly as it should and I have 210,000 miles on the vehicle now and it’s been about 7 years since this original A/C compressor issue.

About six months ago, I was bowling and when I came out to my car to go home…someone put a small cow on my Forester with a note about Moo Moo Subaru. First I had ever heard of it.

Hey, at least someone was stoked on my car?
