Discontinued ZILDJIAN A & CIE "Vintage" 20" RIDE 1st RUN! 1897 g Stick + CLEAN Warm Tone! CRASHABLE

Here’s a GREAT sounding Zildjian....that has been ignominiously expunged from the catalog...and it’s a shame because these were some nicest modern cymbals Zildjian produced.

This beauty is the FIRST RUN! It’s aged well over 2 decades. Gorgeous.
And this particular one is fairly dry sounding, it’s mellowed beautifully over the last 20 years and the stick attack is very strong for this Zildjian series.

As many of you may know, this series comprised some of the BEST SOUNDING modern Zildians. Thin, subtly clean and warm, extremely responsive with a light glowing tone. And that is exactly the vibe of this particular 20”.

Weighing in at a wonderfully thin 1897 grams, this Zildjian A & CIE 20” plays like a Thin slightly DRY Ride that HAS TERRIFIC STICK ATTACK for the series.

Clear, warm tone but still a pinch controlled. Very mellow with a great sounding stick attack that resides above a vintage style controlled but still complex warm wash. Again, one of the FINEST modern series Zildiian made.

Imagine a K Constantinople Thin Ride but a pinch brighter and with a little more smoothness, focus and control. THAT is THIS CYMBAL.

Amazing for low to medium loud volumes.  Crashes beautifully - very warm and lustrous. Fantastic condition. No issues. Very clean with a light patina naturally built up.

Blends so well with Zildjian Ks.

Perfect for any genre. Hard to find today. Clean and wonderfully mellow.
