The Red Label Sound Effects Zildjian EL SONIDO MULTI Crash Ride 17” in terrific condition!

Long lost cousin to the Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Crash - multi-surface with a raw bell and fast attack that cuts.

This EL SONIDO is described as:
“ The 17” El Sonido Multi Crash Ride cymbal stems from the Avedis Zildjian Company’s collaboration with Marc Qui±ones of the Allman Brothers. This cymbal provides a versatility of sound in any salsa, jazz, Latin, or rock music setting.
The 17” El Sonido Multi Crash Ride features a lathed, medium-thin weight outer portion of the instrument to help create a fast and expressive crash response. In contrast, the thicker unlathed center area produces a maximum projection of sound while the unlathed, larger cup aids in providing ride articulation and a pure bell tone. Zildjian’s brilliant finish not only completes the El Sonido Multi’s striking appearance but also helps to provide extra sparkle to its sound.“

And there you go!!

1196 grams gives it Thin weight.

Great cutting attack with subtle glassiness. Projects well. Gorgeous 5” unlathed, solid bell.  Brilliant finish shimmer.

Crashes well. Rides well. Swells well.

Unique lathing and craftsmanship from Zildjian in this one!
Like an alternate version to the K Hyrbid with a bit more bite versatility.

Terrific shape. No issues. Typical light patina. And best of all, no guessing at tone! It’s a great one.
