- This 70-year-old Zildjian is the REAL DEAL Light Complex Ride.
- Actually Hand Hammered. Not machine made.
- And at only 1976 grams it’s THIN - it’s hard to find a 70 year old cymbal under a Medium weight. Most were cracked during the hair metal bacchanalia of 1987.
- This particular 50s Zildjian A is overall light with a smooth complexity.
- It’s beautifully Hand Hammered and has a glowing subtle warmth underneath a surprisingly strong stick attack - especially for a cymbal this THIN.
- Great broad spread. Both dark and bright overtones are present but nothing dominates, it’s a Goldilocks blend.
- Perfectly blends mellow and complex.
- The bell is solid for a thinner 70-year-old cymbal.
- And yet has a light and subtle control to it.
- Only 1976 grams - opens up with the lightest touch. Very responsive. 1950s tone become it’s from the 1950s.
- Classic 1950s Zildjian A tone!
- No need to chase the “vintage vibe” replicas trying to recreate what cymbal has been doing for over a century effortlessly.
