Rare 1940s Vintage Zildjian TRANS STAMP 22” THIN Crash Ride 2576 g Gorgeous Hand Hammered GEM!

Well, you can’t ask much more from a cymbal than this:

One of the THINNER 22” 1940s TRANS STAMP ZILDJIANS AT 2576 grams.

Dark, ultra buttery smooth, super warm with a terrific woody stick definition on top, blurring edges, stunning crashability, golden smooth aged surface, Hand Hammered and made when BEBOP was invented.

Literally. Not easy to find these 80 year old Thin 22s”

This is a slice an American instrument making history - Zildjian USA was 10-15 years old when this 22” was made. And you can tell because it naturally sounds like 100000s albums.

Ultra warm with a light Hand Hammered smokiness.
The metal has a soft pliable feel that only Father Time bestows.

It’s inspiring to play an 8 decade hand made Zildjian 22” like this because it’s steeped in tradition - but STILL HERE!

It’s not just the sound - it’s the craft, the music, the standard, the history.  All of it. And for less than a new Kerope.
