- A beautiful Zildjian that’s a sonic time-capsule:
- Glorious sounding 1950s Vintage Zildjian LIGHT 18” Crash Ride Sizzle at a Goldilocks 1446 grams.
- Perfect 1953 New York City vibe on this one - Max Roach or Kenny Clarke style. A beautiful sonic period piece!
-
Sounds and plays lighter than the gram weight suggests but that weight comes in handy for stick definition. Surprisingly broad spread - that’s the Hand Hammered love talking.
- At 1446 grams it plays like a Thin Complex Light SIZZLE that’s easily crashable! It has an enough tension and weight to ride well. And it’s mellowed 70 years so the attack comes out stronger.
- Overall very responsive. Great stick attack for a sizzle. Overall VERY controlled!
- Where this 18” really shines is the airy, LIGHT SMOOTHNESS it brings to a setup. This 18” Sizzle delivers a warm, very complex but mellowed and aged SIZZLE tone.
- A constellation of 3 brass rivets adorn the edge for a sibilant, subtle sizzle that’s so familiar to the ear. A unique Vintage Zildjian from the Golden Era.
- No issues. Incredible shape for being 70 years old. Golden patina.
- Been making music for the last 70 years and it’s just getting started. Why get the “vintage homage redo” when you can just have The Real Deal?!
