- This is a hard to find cymbal - it’s an earlier 1960s 22” A that’s fairly DRY sounding - much drier than most. It has a terrific half-century old patina that mellows and beefs up the stick articulation for such a big 22” A.
- This one has beautiful craftsmanship- that famous early 60s fine lathing on the underside - almost looks like a 50s cymbal.
- I love 22s” from this era. They’re harder to find but worth the search. They’re darker and smoother and lower-pitched than their smaller 20” brothers.
- And that is exactly the case with this Vintage Zildjian 1960s 22”. No need to guess at tone! Have a listen to this exact cymbal.
- What’s fascinating about this particular 60s 22” is that the stick articulation is strong and it’s pretty dry for a cymbal from this era.
- It’s like a 60s Dark Ping Ride or a K Heavy - but in a 60s A.
- The bell measures a generous 6” snd supplies a fantastic DING tone. Big 22” supplies a lot of playing real estate.
- 3472 grams gives it plenty of meat to punch through in an amplified setting but it’s much darker than any Ping Ride could hope to be.
- This is the perfect Classic Rock 60s DRIER Zildjian.
- Off course it’s perfect for rock but it’s darker and dry leanings make it sing in other genres.
- No issues. Fantastic shape. Wonderful deep patina.
- No need to spend $440 on a big box store new Zildjian. That’s ridiculous.
- Play the 60-year-old 60s Original for LESS money. It’s a lot more fun.
