  • A unique Zildjian right here! This isn’t your standard ride - the edges are easily bendable and it crashes exquisitely!

  • Feels Vintage Zildjian Istanbul K adjacent. Soft and supple, bendable edges. Very played in feel which is rare. 
  • LIGHT COMPLEX early 1960s hallmark Zildjian A tone on this 20”.  Check out the underside. Beautiful craftsmanship! 

  • Actually Hand Hammered! Very old school look and sound! 

  • This 60-year-old Zildjian has a plain that fans downward giving it that umbrella profile that yields a light complex timbre with a broad spread. 

  • Reminds me a bit of a chilled out and controlled K Custom Dry Complex Bill Stewart Ride - but more mellower and with a fuller wash. That’s the vibe. 

  • Weighing in at a delightfully thin 2020 grams this beauty plays like a fuller Light Complex Ride. The bell is solid and as you migrate down to the plain and edge the spread opens up in that classic late 50s/early 60s A fashion as the overtones dance about.

  • Light subtle glowing stick attack followed by  a classic complex wash. Broad spread but with the control of 60 years of aging.   

  •  Lush with that 60s Zildjian warmth but with a hint of what sounds like Hand Hammered complexity. 

  • Primed for 4 rivets and currently outfitted with two vintage copper rivets. YES, copper!! They give a warm mellow tone. 

  • Fantastic shape. Naturally aged. Wavy curve on the edge because the alloy is soft. Not damaged but soft and malleable alloy that makes for a beautiful crash.

  • Deep Golden hue. 

  • This 60-year-old Zildjian is the tone companies have been trying to capture for years.

  • It’s a lot easier and more fun just to play the Real One!

  • A signature 60+ year old 20” that is a stand out.
