About This Listing

For your consideration and immense pleasure, a VINTAGE 1970s 21” ZILDJIAN A series THIN STAMP RIDE CYMBAL, in GREAT USED CONDITION! This cymbal has a more handmade appearance in the lathing and also shows some factory hand hammering, although it IS NOT K Zildjian hand-hammering. 


Having some pinpoint definition yet also possessing less refined tones which have more spread, this is cymbal is ready to use right out of the box you will receive it in.  This cymbal may have been cleaned in the past and you could clean it but I wouldn't, leaving the patina which has already developed on it, intact. This is an unusual, and has a larger bell than most Zildjian 20" ride cymbals.  The sound is a little more nondescript which will help you in creating your own unique sound!  

Definition + wash = this cymbal. The bell, or cup, is more prominent than the that of the 20" version making it great for accents and patterns!  And this cymbal still retains all of the logos and model designation, having obvious signs of use such as fingerprints, stick marks, some spots of tarnish and the like - giving it great character and a played in sound and feel! This cymbal has no cracks or chips but does have a very slight keyhole and an tiny edge ding.  Nonetheless, it is ready to be part of your arsenal!

This slightly bendable cymbal weighs a healthy 2744 grams and has a nice, strong sustain, some wash and the bell has an guitar player splitting "ping"!

And because I care, you get to hear and see the exact cymbal you are buying!

I would say that this cymbal is  an excellent all-purpose cymbal with a strong mid-range and is suitable for virtually any type of music.

This cymbal has a great sound with a nice wash and is an excellent choice for Rock, Fusion, Funk, R&B, Retro, Jazz, Big Band, Ska, Reggae, Country, Punk - you play and this cymbal fits seamlessly!   Add a couple of pieces of tape to the underneath for that old school "click" sound!
