  • Here’s a 50+ year-old semi-dark Complex sounding RINGO style THIN 18”.  

  • And that’s not that easy to find these days - most thinner Zildjians succumbed at the end of a 2B stick outside the Rainbow Room in 1987.  

  • This one is 1366 grams with a nice tapered edge. 

  • And PLAYS like a true Thin Crash. Thinner edges with that famous Vintage A complexity. Fairly steep profile on this one gives it that full RINGO thing. Fairly complex for an 18” but still with that classic smoothness. 

  • No need to spend more money on a big box store Zildjian when you can get an actual, hard-to-find TRULY THIN 18” CRASH that’s half-a-century old. 

  • The tone we’ve heard for generations of rock, pop, and soul. 
  • Of course, if you have a light touch, you can easily use this 18” as a small Light Ride or a swelling Crash Ride. When you crash ride on it, it unleashes a gorgeous torrent of white noise that has a broad spread.  

  • Magnificent condition for a half-century-old Zildjian. Nice very golden patina. Typical light use. Beautiful lathing hammering. 

  • Vintage As are always in style, and this Vintage 18” 1366 gram Thin Crash has that iconic sound. 

  • No need to paw through an ocean of modern Zildjians to find one that kinda-sorta sounds vintage-ish.   

  • The 55 year old REAL DEAL right here!
