Here’s one of the cleanest 60s Zildjians you’ll find.
This is a fascinating Vintage 1960s 22” - it’s nowhere near your typical Zildjian 60s Ping Ride or Medium Ride. This 22” plays like a true LIGHT RIDE or MEDIUM THIN CRASH RIDE.
It has a light shimmer on top.
This 22” actually sounds like it has rivets in it - even though it doesn’t. That’s what I mean - light and airy, shimmering tone.
It is one of the nicest sounding, complex, airy 22s” you will hear from the 1960s. Part of it is because this 50 years old 22” has a nice, umbrella-shaped profile that gives it a bit more spread than your average Medium Ride. It’s also very clean and offers a light crystalline shimmer.
With a 2663 gram weight it lives in the Medium Thin Ride to Medium Crash range for a 22”, but it has a light, mellow dark attack that is followed by a soft and subtle, fairly complex wash.
What’s amazing is that you can play this big 22” very, very lightly and softly and it still sings. The dynamic range on this one is amazing.
When you open up on it and crash, it unleashes a torrent of 1960s Medium Crash tone - perfect as a big 60s Crash, or great for Crash accents when you‘re playing at lower volumes and just need a punch.
Fantastic 6” bell is incredible for rock, but pull out to the plain and you have one hell of a great Light Jazz or Blues Ride.
Again, this is an incredibly versatile 22” - you don’t find a cymbal that can go from 1 - 10 and remain musical often.
