- Why on earth pay $475 for a big box store GUESS at what your cymbal sounds like??!!
- That life sucks! Have a listen to this exact cymbal so you can buy with confidence. It’s naturally AGED 17 years and mellowed and controlled. Not harsh.
- Here’s one of the ORIGINAL Beautiful Baby Zildjian Armand Rides - nearly 20 years old. It’s light and airy with a very mellow dark tone and semi-dry stick attack - the last 2 decades have been good to this 19”. It’s drier and mellower than the big box store new one.
- Zildjian describes this cymbal as:
“Bright and musical "vintage" A Sound. Armand Zildjian's favorite ride sound, features three rivet cluster and laser engraved Armand Zildjian Signature with his favorite expression, 'Beautiful, Baby'."
- This is a great, smooth sounding Left Side Light Crash Ride Sizzle. Very responsive, articulate and mellow with a rain-on-the-roof subtlety complements of 3 cluster rivets.
- Weighing in at a lovely 1814 grams, this Armand Ride plays like a smooth Thin to Medium Thin Light Ride Sizzle. What I really like about this specific 19" is that it although I would not call it super dry, it has a surprisingly nice stick definition that resides above a very warm wash and rivet rumble.
- The bell is strong and cuts extremely well, especially for "the latin thing." And the 3 rivets add a great Sunday-night-rain-on-the-roof sizzle when crashed upon lightly.
- It's remarkably well balanced, especially when you get about 10 or 15 feet back. It blends into the room nicely. The overall vibe is warm, very mellow, subtle, slightly dark, with a great stick attack and fairly controlled.
- Aged, mellowed. Darkened. Dried up stick attack. This one is drier than most.
- Don’t go over $475 for a stiff new one with a stock photo. Listen to this beauty and buy with confidence.
