- Here’s a famous cymbal….and a DRY ONE too!
- I absolutely love EAKs! They are fantastic instruments and a piece of cymbal history that you can actually PLAY!
- Why the hell settle for a big box store K. This is the Hand Hammered First Series American K! And it’s Dark with a pinch of complex liveliness to it.
- The Original 45 year old Zildjian EAK 20” Ride in fantastic shape! Super dark, deep chocolate brown patina.
- Dark. Dry. Supreme definition. Low pitched. Cuts exceptionally well.
- Steve Gadd vibes all day.
- And dig that craftsmanship. Wavy surface, very fine, leaving with the gradually sloped bell. Telltale 80s EAK.
- This particular 80s EAK Ride is drier than most others and has a bit more breath and body to it. Most Heavy Rides are about 300 grams more than this one.
- Weighing in at a lovely 2462 grams this EAK plays like a DARK Medium Ride. The tone of the bell is remarkably solid-especially for an EAK. It's slightly integrated and cuts extremely well. As you migrate down to the plain of the cymbal, you get a strong chime-like prominent definition followed by a low, dark wash that is controlled but still present.
- The attack is solid and as far as EAKs for, this one is very DRY with a hint of Hand Hammered brilliance to it.
- A perfect blend of warmth, dryness, organic tone with terrific stick articulation followed by a subtle slightly complex wash.
- Steve Gadd famously used these for years! And you can tell. That’s the sound.
- Perfect for anything low to loud. This 20” has no problem cutting but remains dark and musical in softer settings.
- No issues. Hard to find. Gorgeous 4 decade old deep patina mellow and dries it beautifully!
- Playable. Collectible. A piece of Zilfjian Hand Hammered history!
