Here's a GREAT sounding Zildjian from the ORIGINAL RUN…that has been ignominiously expunged from the catalog long ago...and it's a shame because these were some nicest modern cymbals Zildjian produced.
-
Exceptionally clean too!
-
And this particular one is the THINNEST most crashable one I’ve seen, it’s aged beautifully over the last 2 decades and the stick attack is very strong for this Zildjian series and for such a thin cymbal.
- As many of you may know, this series comprised some of the BEST SOUNDING modern Zildians. Thin, warm, extremely responsive with a subtle glowing tone. And that is exactly the vibe of this particular 20"! Why the hell Zildjian discontinued this series I'll never know. Could someone at Zildjian call me. We’re practically neighbors!! You can borrow a cup of sugar and explain the reasoning behind this decision.
- Has Armand’s Signature etched on the underside - like the K Constantinoples.
- Weighing in at a lovely and very svelte 1758 grams, this Zildjian A & CIE 20" plays like a Thin or Light Paper Thin slightly DRY Ride that HAS TERRIFIC STICK ATTACK for the series and for the weight.
- GLOWING WARM tone but still a pinch controlled. Very mellow with a great sounding stick attack that resides above a vintage style controlled but still complex warm wash. Again, one of the FINEST modern series Zildiian made.
-
Imagine a K Constantinople Thin Ride but a pinch brighter and with a little more smoothness, focus and control.
- THAT is THIS CYMBAL.
- Amazing for low to medium loud volumes. Crashes beautifully - very warm and lustrous.
- Amazing condition. No issues. Extremely clean - it’s 20 years old but looks 20 DAYS old.
- Perfect for any genre. Hard to find today. Collectible 1st Run that is magnificent!!!!!
