Amazing Definition!","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of the most underrated cymbals - and many Zildjian artists used this K Heavy 22” back in the 80s and 90s - especially LIVE! Specifically Vinnie used one in the late 80s. As did JR Robinson on tour with Peter Frampton.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis K has the BEST stick definition of any lathed K. But you can no longer get it.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis HUGE and discontinued Zildjian K offers fantastic stick definition and also remains DARK! It cuts superbly as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd it’s the Rare 22” size giving it a generous playing field and even darker, lower tone. You can still see the 1980s  factory “HEAVY RIDE” stamp on top.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZildjian described this beauty as:\u003cbr\u003e\"Low-pitched. Clear \"ping\" and tight stick definition.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort and sweet. What they fail to mention is how DARK and shimmering this wonderful K 22”. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighing in at a lovely 3562 grams this 22” delivers SUPERB stick attack -compliments of the heavier constitution. This balanced 40 year old Zildjian yields a Classic K chime-like stick attack that is followed by a warm, LOW pitched and surprisingly DARK wash that overall remains controlled.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat I particularly dig about this specific 22” is that the stick attack definitely stays ON TOP of the wash - the wash remains controlled and does not eclipse the stick definition--again thanks to the healthier weight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt has a dry attack but it’s not overly dead - it just has great definition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery well-balanced. Combine that with a SOLID BELL and you have one hell of a nice sounding 40 year old Zildjian 22” K Ride.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd this beauty projects superbly--which is not always easy to find in Zildjians more subtle K series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFantastic condition. No issues. Golden patina hue. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemarkably versatile and no longer made. Good enough for iconic era VINNIE.
