- One of the earliest Zildjian As there is! From the 1930s! SIGNED under the bell.
- THIS 12” IS HAND HAMMERED, PAPER THIN, IT'S 90 YEARS OLD, AND IT ACTUALLY SPLASHES WITH A WHISPY SHIMMER!!
- Super old school BUDDY RICH or GENE KRUPA vibe, Dixieland/NewOrleans tone. ONLY 362 grams. Perfect for vintage setups and tones.

This 1930s Zildjian literally comes from the first few years of Zildjian USA - right after they closed the confectionary and started selling cymbals instead of candy.
Think about that. That’s crazy. Dizzy Gillespie was a new artist. “Salt Peanuts” was a new hit song.

Who the hell knows how this beauty survived! It most have been played by a mouse!! It's nearly 90 years old and ONLY 362 grams!! The edges bend with ease.
- A perfect resource to see how cymbals used to be made. By hand.
- With a featherweight of only 362 grams this 90 year old 12” is EASILY bendable and has all the warm, dark ultra-classy tone you would expect from a GREAT sounding 30s Vintage Zildjian Paperthin Splash. It's the tone that made them famous. It actually goes "SPLASH” it doesn't clank its way through life like some of its modern, heavier brethren.
- Responsive, complex with a FAST decay. Slightly exotic sounding. And dig the lathing and the bell-that ain't a modern Zildjian, no way, that's Old School beauty!
- If you want that Vintage sound, then go to the source. This cymbal is THE SOURCE!
- Great shape for its age. Natural swooping paper thin edge. 2 nearly invisible spider cracks around the bell. Very hard to see, they look like they’ve been there for years. Nowadays, all modern stands have cymbal sleeves
- Obviously this Hand Hammered Vintage Zildjian 12” Splash is a no brainer for jazz, ballads, blues, swing. dixieland and trio work. But its dark, rich tone would be a welcomed addition in soul, early rockabilly and R&B, folk, acoustic settings, singer/songwriter gigs, and definitely session work.
