  • Very smooth and dark sounding 1950s HAND HAMMERED Vintage Zildjian 18” Sizzle Crash Ride 

  • This is a sonic time capsule from 1957. Sounds perfect!! 

  • LIGHT and mellow sounding with a hint of smokiness. Overall dark overtones. 

  • At a Goldilocks 1495 grams it plays like a Thin to Medium Thin Semi-Dark SIZZLE Ride or Crash Ride. 

  • Very responsive. Crashes with ease and can live its entire life as a Dark 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.

  • Fairly low pitched for an 18”.  

  • Great spread while still having the classy control of an 18”.  Can come to every single gig because it can occupy a lot of different positions on the drum set.

  • It was made 70 years ago. And it SOUNDS like a cymbal made 70 years ago. 
  • Modern Zildjians are great - but they don’t do THIS.

  • Primed for 8 rivets and currently outfitted with 3. Add or subtract to your liking. Sounds amazing right now   
  • Real Deal. 

  • Don’t spend more on the new faux vintage ones. 

  • It’s cheaper and more fun to play the 70 year old ORIGINAL.
