  • Here's a GREAT sounding Zildjian....that has been ignominiously expunged from the catalog...and it's a shame because these were some nicest modern cymbals Zildjian produced.

  • This beauty is the FIRST RUN! It’s aged 23 years! Gorgeous. 
  • And this particular one is fairly dry sounding, it’s aged beautifully over the last 2 decades and the stick attack is very strong for this Zildjian series.  

  • As many of you may know, this series comprised some of the BEST SOUNDING modern Zildians. Thin, warm, extremely responsive with a subtle glowing tone. And that is exactly the vibe of this particular 20"! Why the hell Zildjian discontinued this series I'll never know. Could someone at Zildjian call me. We’re practically neighbors!! You can borrow a cup of sugar and explain the reasoning behind this decision.

  • Weighing in at a lovely and THIN 1866 grams, this Zildjian A & CIE 20" plays like a Thin slightly DRY Ride that HAS TERRIFIC STICK ATTACK for the series - especially on a cymbal this thin! 

  • GLOWING WARM tone but still a pinch controlled. Very mellow with a great sounding stick attack that resides above a vintage style controlled but still complex warm wash. Again, one of the FINEST modern series Zildiian made.

  • Imagine a K Constantinople Thin Ride but a pinch brighter and with a little more smoothness, focus and control. THAT is THIS CYMBAL.

  • Amazing for low to medium loud volumes.  Crashes beautifully - very warm and lustrous.  

  • Fantastic condition. No issues. Very clean with a light patina naturally built up. Very strong logos. 

  • Blends so well with Zildjian Ks. 

  • Perfect for any genre.  Hard to find today. Clean and wonderfully mellow!!
