Rare 1940s Vintage Zildjian TRANS STAMP PAPER THIN 20” Crash Ride ONLY 1768 g HOLY GRAIL A

One of the NICEST AND THINNEST Zildjian 1940s Trans Stamp 20s” you will ever find! With a rubber-necking PAPER THIN gram weight of only 1768 grams (hit the chiropractor for that whiplash!) It’s a damn miracle this Zildjian even survived!

Truly Hand Hammered. The end of the road for a beautiful sounding 1940s A. Light. Airy. Complex. Still with great definition.

Clearly it was owned by a monarch butterfly who played the kazoo, because it is in magnificent shape!

As you can hear - this Zildjian is a phenomenal CRASH cymbal- and it has the bell, profile and construction of a crash too which is very rare.

And then…it’s rides! Ultra warm and very, very sweet sounding with a golden tone plucked right off an early bebop or jazz recording.

If you’re looking to start a cymbal company - get this! Because this is the tone that made Zildjian famous.

No need to shell out more money for the “modern vintage”. That’s crazy. This Zildjian was forged when Tex Beneke and Glenn Miller were the the new hottest 🔥 artists! Literally. It’s the REAL DEAL.

And you’ll roam the Earth from horizon to horizon to find one this thin! I know because my shoes are dilapidated.

It’s a joy playing a piece of American musical history. Something to be celebrated and inspiring.
