About this listing
Hailing from the golden era of Rock ‘N’ Roll, this Vintage Zildjian delivers a simply fantastic stick attack with great articulation.
This is a straight-up Vintage Zildjian 1970s A 20” Ride and it has all the hallmark semi-bright, aggressive smooth definition tone you would expect from the rocking 70s.
It definitely has THE PING RIDE vibe.
I'm not exactly sure what this cymbal is - a Medium, a Ping, etc, but it sure as hell plays like a DRY PING RIDE NOW!
PING for days! And with a CUTTING bell too and that downwards flanged Ping edge for a bit of projection.
Weighing in at a perfect 2577 grams, this 20" has a Medium to Medium Heavy constitution-exactly what you would expect from a 70s Zildjian.
The attack is tight and aggressive and remarkably PING-Y! The tone is semi-dry and bright and very focused. The pitch is medium to medium high and cuts superbly and the overtones gravitate toward the high end which yields a great cutting attack.
The bell is very solid and cuts extremely well like a Rock Ride.
It’s like a DRY PING RIDE.
Crash Ride on the edge for a massive wall of white noise that’s like you’re in Black Sabbath.
Classic Vintage 70s tone that’s heard so often it’s in our subconscious.
No issues. The terrific four-decade-old heavy patina that focuses it beautifully.
Aged and mellow without sounding as brittle as new cymbals do.
Vintage As are a joy to play. And this Zildjian is from the heart of the Classic Rock Era!
