  • Here’s a gorgeous Zildjian! Beautiful looking and sounding. 

  • And it’s surprisingly DRY with a glorious stick attack - especially for a 60s Zildjian. 

  • It’s Hand Hammered and has a beautiful semi-dark, dry and very smooth tone that emanates from the plain and floats outward. 

  • Vintage Zildjian Early 1960s DRY Light Crash Ride 20” that has glorious Hand Hammering. 

  • Medium to Medium-low in pitch. Both dark and bright overtones are present but it swims in the darker shadows.  

  • It crashes incredibly well at only 2288 grams - especially for a cymbal with such a dry attack. 

  • Golden half-century-old patina dries this 20” perfectly. It’s mellowed  It’s stunning looking and sounding. Hand hammered rippling underneath. 

  • The bell is solid for a thinner 60-year-old cymbal.  And it’s lightly glowing and yet has a lsubtle control to it. 

  • The perfect Semi-Darker Dry Ride that’s very crashable and offers a hint of complexity. 

  • This 1960s 20” could have been the model Zildjian used to create their “vintage vibe” $1000 Kerope series. 

  • BUT this is the REAL ONE. Not trying to capture a bygone era.

  • This just is the era! 

  • Aged exquisitely over 60 years.  Played-in feel. Hand Hammered out to the edge. 

  • Perfect for very soft to the medium loud settings. Glorious under the mic.

  • Does damn nest everything. 

  • Worth it.
