- Why the hell go $350 deep on a new puny-sized Zildjian 20” Ping Ride??
- Get the Vintage 22” for less. The REAL ONE forged in the fires of Classic Rock.
- The 22” is a much better cymbal than its little brother - darker, lower pitched, a piercing bell and a generous playing field.
- Sports the downward flanged Ping-style edge for projection.
- Huge discontinued 22” Vintage Zildjian 1970s Ping Ride in fantastic condition.
- What's great about this specific 22" is that the decades have aged its tone-it has a terrific focused stick attack.
- The massive 6” bell cuts beautifully.
- Although the "Ping" stamped has most likely been wiped clean by Father time, this beauty PLAYS like a PING!
- As many of you may know, the Vintage Zildjian Ride 22" was a perennial favorite of Stewart Copeland and it is what he used on many Police records. And, of course, Neil Peart famously used a 22" Vintage Zildjian Ride during Rush's heydays of the 1970s through early 1980s!
- And that’s the VIBE of this gorgeous 22"!
- Weighing in at a ROBUST 3508 grams this 1970s 22” Ride delivers a terrific Semi-Bright PING attack that is followed by a semi-full wash.
- Because it is a big 22", the pitch is medium- lower and darker than the 20”. The bell is wonderfully solid and slices through stacks of Marshall amps with the utmost of ease.
- Perhaps the most famous of all Zildjian Ride cymbals, the Ping Ride has been a staple cymbal for all genres of music for decades. And the older ones are particularly sweet on the ears.
- And Zildjian discontinued this beauty which is crazy because it was one of the most popular and most recorded cymbals in the catalog.
- This is the sound! Right here. Don’t spend more on the anemic 20”!!
- No issues. Clean. A 50 year old terrific 22” from rock’s heyday!
