  • Well here’s the end of the road for the perfect Left Side Light Crash Ride. Or CRASHABLE Main Ride for that Old School tone.

  • From the Zildjian Factory in Istanbul: Vintage Zildjian Istanbul K 18” Crash Ride at a perfect 1462 grams. The Real Deal.  And it’s a great one - not heavy but it has a great stick definition on top and crashed like a dream! 

  • At a Goldilocks 1462 grams this 18” provides the perfect foil for a 20” or 22” K.  It’s light, airy and being the very hard to find, actually playable 18”, it remains focused and controlled and offers a fast response and bounce - fantastic for bebop tempos.  

  • The stick attack is prominent and the wash and decay are controlled and quick.

  • Amazing for the studio.  Live. It can be your main ride (so many great vintage records were made with 18” ride cymbals) or a Left Side Crash Ride.

  • Absolutely stunning smooth and aged, Hand Hammered rippled surface.

  • Mellowed beautifully over the last half-a-century! 

  • This is the cymbal cymbal companies have been trying to duplicate for decades.

  • Playable.  Collectible.  Beautiful.
