- Here’s a damn near impossible cymbal to find! Hand Hammered Early 1960s Vintage Zildjian Factory “MEDIUM” Sizzle!
-
Semi-dry, light and airy sounding Vintage Zildjian 18” Sizzle Crash Ride “MEDIUM” in the original Zildjian Sizzle configuration. Outfitted with ALL 6 Factory Rivets! And yes, I believe these are the originals Zildjian rivets.
- Super LIGHT and AIRY sounding with a solid definition and a hint of smokiness. Like the Armand Ride but 70 years old.
- Hand Hammered. Beautifully crafted.
- 1588 grams makes it play like a Medium Thin Light SIZZLE. Not heavy or clangy.
- Subtle and delicate stick articulation with a lightness to it - the great patina beefs up the definition.
- Overall very responsive.
- Easily Crashable. Could be a straight up 18” crash.
- Where this 18” really shines is the airy, LIGHTNESS it brings to a setup. This 18” Sizzle delivers a warm, slightly complex but mellowed and aged SIZZLE tone.
- It was made 70 years ago. And it SOUNDS like a cymbal made 70 years ago.
- Modern Zildjians are great - but they don’t do THIS.
- No issues. Amazing shape with a great golden patina.
- Don’t spend more on the new faux vintage ones.
- It’s cheaper and more fun to play the original and it sounds better.
