- Here’s a fantastic sounding semi-dark 60-year-old Zildjian with a terrific famously focused stick attack. CLASSIC 1960s tone! The sound!
- This beauty has the harder to find factory stamp “MEDIUM RIDE” on it.
- Don’t pay more money for Zildjians trying to re-capture what this Vintage Zildjian does naturally.
- This particular 1960s 20” has a beautiful, deep golden patina that gives this Zildjian a distinct, pronounced DARKER chime-like definition and attack but it is mellower than big box store new models. Hell it’s from the 1960s. It’s aged well over half a century.
-
After 50 years of aging, it projects but is not harsh sounding or shrill as modern Zildjians can be. The patina mellows and focuses the overtones beautifully to deliver a pronounced stick articulation that sounds like it was plucked off a 1960s recording.
-
2384 grams gives this 20” a perfect Medium Thin to Medium weight with a semi-dry definition. Dry for the 60s.
- The bell cuts superbly.
- Crash on the edge and you have a wonderful wall of white noise perfect for Classic Rock and all-around ruckus-making.
- This is a fantastic, versatile 1960s Zildjian that is great for any style of music. It’s the tone that has delivered all the hits dating back the last 50 years.
-
Quiet to loud settings. No issues. Amazing patina.
- Just sounds like a song!
- Use this Zildjian for any style at all! Vintage, as always, in style.
