$400 for a new-fangled "vintage vibe" Kerope??
How about the "vintage finished" Avedis Series....
For $330???
OR you can enjoy an ACTUAL HAND HAMMERED Vintage Zildjian FROM THE 1950s.
None of this "Re-issue Vintage homage" business.
Just the Original.
Posted for your immense pleasure is this smooth sounding and fairly LOW pitched Vintage 1950s Zildjian 18" Light Crash Ride Sizzle. Check out the pictures. Remarkably there are
NO
Cracks or Nicks on this 50 year old Zildjian. It has a lovely patina/super played-in vibe that has befriended it.
Old School lathing and craftsmanship on this 50+ year old Zildjian.
And if you look at the close-ups you'll see that his particular 18" IS HAND HAMMERED!
Imagine THAT! Beautiful!
Weighing
in at a lovely 1546 grams this Vintage Zildjian plays like a Medium
Thin to Medium Light Crash Ride SIZZLE. The tone is semi-dark with nice
low overtones. The stick attack is prominent compliments of that Medium
Thin 1546 gram weight-but this ain't no hulking Ping Ride-It's MELLOW
and has a subtle Light-ness to it.
As you can see, this 18" is primed for 6 and currently outfitted with 5 most likely ORIGINAL RIVETS-super old-timey rivets here. Take them out for increased definition or leave them in for that glorious Rain On The Roof vibe.
I'd leave them in-this beauty sounds terrific as a mellow, lower pitched small Light Crash Ride.
You can use this 60+ year old Zildjian for whatever your heart's desire. Its even tone and solid stick articulation make it remarkably versatile.
$400??? $330 for a machine made Zildjian that's trying to IMITATE THIS actually Hand Hammered Zildjian???
Why not save a TON of money??
So do yourself a favor and grab this smooth sounding and balanced 1546 gram Vintage 1950s Zildjian 18" Light Crash Ride Sizzle.
