This is an insanely beautiful cymbal! Dark, warm and shimmering. And with the rare Factory Stamp “MEDIUM.” And from the 1950s! Thats super rare.
- Own a studio and like vintage tones - get this! It covers a lot!
- Sure you can spend $500 on a “vintage vibe” big box store Zildjian.
- But why the hell would you when you can have the ACTUAL 65-year-old Hand Hammered ORIGINAL - the one that was forged right around John Coltrane’s BLUE Note debut.
- Dark sounding 6 decade old Zildjian 1950s 20” Factory Stamped “MEDIUM.” Rideable. Crashable. Crash-Rideable.
- Beautiful Hand Hammering on this 20”, hallmark 1950s style lathing. Wavy and serpentine surface. The plain and underside of this 20” is wavy and rippled all over the place - truly Hand Hammered, someone really showed this Zildjian love at the factory!
- At 2256 grams this Vintage Zildjian has enough weight to offer a smooth and light, chime-like stick attack but still remains dark sounding and very warm and lush. It plays like a Light to a Thinner Medium Light.
- Medium-low in pitch. Classic 1950s Zildjian A fullness to it when crashed young. This particular 20” has a bit of shimmering brilliance to it but the spread does not go super high and bright - it remains in the darker realms and has a general smoothness.
- Very strong bell, especially considering Black Sabbath was still in the mind of God.
- Amazing condition. No issues. Gorgeous half-century old patina mellows and dries the stick attack perfectly.
- Use it for any genre. Vintage Zildjian As are always in style. And you never see a true “MEDIUM”
