  • Here's a fantastic-sounding, hard-to-find 60-year-old Vintage Zildjian  Sizzle Ride that blends strong attack with a dark glowing warmth. Sounds like right off a 1958 Columbia Jazz Recording.  
  • Still has ORIGINAL Zildjian Rivets - that’s a miracle right there! 
  • Wonderful medium dark and lower pitch to this 22”. It’s absolutely stunning. 

  • Terrific 60s style stick-attack, it can easily be your main Ride like many Jazz and Classic Rock recordings from the 50s and 60s that also had sizzles. 

  • The straight-up definition is great but it’s not overly dry. 

  • Much of that great attack is compliments of the 2920 gram weight - which gives this Sizzle a Medium quality, that is how it plays, but with the subtle glow of 3 rivets. 

  • Being the larger 22”, it’s darker and lower-pitched than its 20” brothers.  And the playing field is generous and the bell piercing when needed. 

  • Primed for Factory 6 rivets in the classic Vintage configuration. Currently delivering a wonderful light and airy tone with 3 Old School Zildjian rivets.  

  • The great attack cuts through a mix quite well.  Stunning, glowing warm 1960s Zildjian A tone followed by the light glow of rivets. 

  • Aged 60+ years with a beautiful natural golden patina. 

  • This is the REAL DEAL tone. Don’t pay more money for the “vintage vibe” stuff. 

  • It’s more inspiring to play the original.  

  • A dark 22” Early 1960s Sizzle. It’s what music was made on.
