- Here’s a damn near impossible cymbal to find! Hand Hammered 1950s Zildjian Factory Sizzle!
- Semi-dry, light and airy sounding Vintage Zildjian 18” Sizzle Crash Ride in the original Zildjian Sizzle configuration. Outfitted with ALL 6 Factory VINTAGE Rivets! And yes, I believe these are the originals. Way old-timey craftsmanship and sound!
- Super LIGHT and AIRY sounding with a solid definition and a hint of smokiness. Like the Armand Ride but 75 years old.
- Hand Hammered. Beautifully crafted.
-
1526 grams makes it play like a Thin to Medium Thin Light SIZZLE. Not heavy or clangy.
- Subtle and delicate stick articulation with 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 75 years ago. And it SOUNDS like a cymbal made 75 years ago.
- Modern Zildjians are great - but they don’t do THIS.
- No issues. Amazing shape with a great goldenpatina.
- Don’t spend more on the new faux vintage ones.
- It’s cheaper and more fun to play the original and it sounds better.
