ZILDJIAN A & CIE "Vintage" 20" RIDE IMMACULATE NOS? 1st RUN! NO LONGER MADE! Smooth Clean Tone! CRASHABLE 1962 g

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 and it looks like it was born yesterday. The cleanest one I’ve ever seen. 

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.

Very smooth and clean and clear an especially for a Zildjian.

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 1962 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. Amazing 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. Collectible. Looks nearly new.
