- Very smooth and delicate sounding DARK 1960s Vintage Zildjian 18” Sizzle Crash Ride. Outfitted with all 6 rivets in the original Zildjian configuration.
- Super LIGHT and AIRY sounding with a solid definition and a hint of smokiness. Like the Armand Ride but 50 years old and darker.
- 1436 grams makes it play like a Thin to Medium Thin Semi-Dark SIZZLE. Not heavy or clangy.
- Fairly low pitched for an 18”.
- Absolutely perfect stick attack to wash ratio.
- It’s heavy enough to deliver solid stick articulation but has a lightness to it - the great patina beefs up the definition.
- Overall very responsive.
- Easily Crashable. Could be a straight up 18” crash.
- Where this 18” really shines is the airy, LIGHTNESS it brings to a setup. This 18” Sizzle delivers a warm, slightly complex but mellowed and aged SIZZLE tone.
- It was made 60 years ago. And it SOUNDS like a cymbal made over 60 years ago.
- Modern Zildjians are great - but they don’t do THIS.
- No issues. Amazing shape with a great chocolate brown patina.
- Primed for 6 rivets and outfitted with all 6!
- Add or subtract to your liking but it sounds amazing right where it is.
- Don’t spend more on the new faux vintage ones.
- It’s cheaper and more fun to play the original and it sounds better.
