Looking for a very smooth and warm ride that has a pinpoint stick attack with a pinch of shimmer to it?
- VIOLA!!
-
This Discontinued 15-year-old 21” ARMAND Ride perfectly blends stick definition with the warmth of a fully lathed cymbal. And being the largest cataloged 21” size, it’s the darkest one they offered. It has a foot in K Land, but has the SMOOTHNESS and classy-ness of the vintage-inspired Armand Series.
- And it’s a fairly THIN 2294 grams. One of the thinner ones I’ve seen.
- It plays right between a Thin and Medium Thin and the beautiful patina is why the stick attack is so smooth and prominent.
-
Nothing harsh at all, one of the smoothest modern Zildjians you will find. And that was the whole concept behind the Armand Series - to capture the glowing warmth and mellowed tone of some of the Vintage Zildjians of yore.
- Mellowed and aged over the last 15 years. Defined. Focused. Subtle, glowing warm stick presence. Very controlled wash for a fully lathed cymbal. The metal has chilled out and settled.
- A larger-sized Solid 5.5 bell provides plenty of cuts when you need it.
- Warm enough to crash on like a BIG Medium Thin But not nearly as harsh as a heavy brutish A.
- One of the nicest sounding modern smooth and focused Zildjians you’ll hear.
- No issues. Overall very clean. Strong logos. Light patina. A beautiful cymbal that hasn’t been made in over a decade.
