Absolutely beautiful 22” right here. Perfect blend of semi-dry stick attack but still somehow warm!! That’s the magic of Father Time. Deep, dark 7 decade patina mellows this beauty perfectly   

75 year old Vintage Zildjian Hand Hammered 22” BLOCK STAMP Early 1950s Ride or Crash - it’s amazing at both. 

Forged when “Clifford Brown and Max Roach” was a new recording. That’s inspiring to play.
This along with the 1940s Trans Stamps is my favorite era of Zildjian. 

Telltale golden era Zildjian Hand Hammering and bell, the alloy has softened and mellowed over the last 7 decades. 

A beautiful blend of bright and dark, stick definition and light airy wash that remains controlled. It all comes together quite musically under a rounded over robust bell that cuts like a modern cymbal without the brutishness. 

And at a perfect 2678 grams a swipe at the edge ushers in a generous and full crash accent. 

Does everything. 

No issues. No need to pay more to get a modern cymbal reaching to do with this one does every day, naturally.
