- This is one of the Earliest Sabian 22” HH Rides you will see.
- So Vintage that’s it’s basically a Vintage Zildjian CANADIAN K. I’ve owned several of those and that’s exactly how this Vintage Sabian Hand Hammered HH looks, feels and sounds.
- Same very low, deep profile and pitch, telltale heavy Hand Hammering all around the bell out to the edge. Incredible stick attack with a very dark wash.
- As many of you may know, Zildjian Canada became Sabian when the brothers had a hissy fit. Robert ZILDJIAN started Sabian.
- The 70s Zildjian Canadian Ks became 80s Sabian HHs, and are basically the scion of the vintage Old School (Istanbul) Zildjian Ks...before they disappeared for a decade and then entered the modern era. I believe the Canadian Ks (and Early HHs) were Hand Hammered by the Zildjian artisans from Istanbul who were brought over to the Zildjian Canadian plant in the late 60s/70s.
- Weighing in at a GLORIOUS 3552 grams this Early Sabian HH 22” plays like a SUPER DARK CRISP Medium Heavy to Heavy Ride-a la Tony Williams weight.
- The tone is semi-DRY, dark, clean, controlled, and very smooth and balanced as you would imagine, the stick attack on this beauty is absolutely fantastic, especially when played right beneath the bell. This 22" yields a chime-like, focused, lower pitched stick definition that remains musical and is NOT clanky. And the best part about this 22" is that is has a completely different vibe when played out near the edge of the cymbal. It's light and airy and has a soft and subtle complexity to it.
- This Vintage HH projects extremely well, better than any modern K that I've encountered, it has no problem cutting through in amplified music but can easily be reined in when played delicately out at the edge.
- It's a 40 year old Hand Hammered 22” by the Zildjian artisans FROM ISTANBUL!! It can cover nearly all the bases! And it's aged beautifully too!
- Use it for absolutely anything. Sounds amazing.
