Vintage Zildjian 1960s HAND HAMMERED Thin 22” Crash Ride AMAZING! Dark w Low Profile! 2415 g

Incredibly beautiful well-over-half-century Vintage Hand Hammered Zildjian right here! The kind we’re always hunting for. And in the generous-sized 22”!

It’s 2415 grams. Which is pretty damn thin - it’s very hard to find a 60 year old 22” under 2500 grams.

1960s stamp but everything about this gem is much closer to the 1950s block stamp. It’s Hand Hammered and has that famous, dark and buttery, soft feel and sound. Crashes as well as it rides.

Beautiful rounded-over bell, low profile yields a lower-pitched, dark tone.

With a 2415 gram weight it lives in the Thin Ride DARK Crash Ride range, it has a light, mellow semi-dry attack that is followed by a soft and subtle, controlled DARK wash.

What’s amazing is that you can play this big 22” very, very lightly and softly and it still sings. The dynamic range on this one is amazing.

Dark. Mellow. Semi-dry from decades of a deep and heavy patina naturally built up. Glowing.

When you open up on it and crash, it unleashes a torrent of Vintage Crash tone but in a Massive 22”!

Fantastic 5.5” bell is that is solid for such a thin cymbal.

Again, this is an incredibly versatile 22” - you don’t find a cymbal that can go from 1 - 10 and remain musical often - although I would not slam on it because it is thin.

Amazing shape.  Tell tale Hand Hammered waviness on the plain.

Wonderfully versatile 22” from the golden age of both rock and jazz.

Don’t pay more for a modern “vintage homage” cymbal masquerading as old timey.

Just get the actually Hand Hammered real one.
