Vintage 2004 Zildjian 18" Oriental Classic China Cymbal - Excellent Condition (Pre-FX / Pre-Trash) W/ Free Case

Up for sale is a highly sought-after, rare 18" Zildjian Oriental Classic China cymbal. This is the highly desirable "Pre-FX" era model, known for its distinctively deep traditional profile and authentic, trashy Chinese cymbal roar that modern models simply cannot replicate. Plus this comes with a FREE 24" ZILDJIAN CYMBAL CASE!! Key Features & Details:

• Year of Manufacture: 2004 (Verified by the "JD" serial number prefix).
• Condition: Excellent collector/player condition. Zero cracks, zero keyholing, and no flea bites along the edge. The structural integrity is 100% perfect.
• Cosmetics: Outstanding for its age. The original red and black ink logos are incredibly crisp and fully intact. The brilliant finish shows only minimal natural patina and light surface staining, which adds to its complex, dark character.
• Sound Profile: Features the legendary explosive, trashy, and un-pitched explosive bite with a dark, short decay. Unlike later FX China Trash models, this Classic features the traditional steep bow design.

Don't miss out on a pristine example of modern Zildjian history. Perfect for collectors or drummers looking for an elite, authentic effects cymbal. Ships securely packed.

Played responsibly and used sparingly by a guy who used it in his home studio (Me!) in his 50's and 60's. I bought this used a very long time ago (Like 2007 or 2008) because of it's excellent condition so it is in very good condition and barely played it as stated. Please look at the photo's carefully and ask any questions you might have before you purchase. Flat rate shipping of $30.00 to any of the lower 48 United States of America. Thanks for looking!
