Zildjian - Tris Imboden's, Chicago, 18" K Flat Top Ride Cymbal 1690g (Turkish Stamp) (TI Z #17)
Tris Imboden was a Zildjian endorser during his earlier peak session/touring years. He started playing and endorsing Zildjian cymbals in 1981 and continued with them until 2007. During this period he performed and recorded with dozens of A-list artists including Kenny Logins, Peter Cetera and Chicago.
This is a rare Zildjian 18" K Flat Top Ride cymbal owned by Tris Imboden of Chicago. It's a Turkish-made K Zildjian dating to the mid-1980s and features the distinctive bell-less Flat Top design. Hand hammered in Istanbul from traditional B20 bronze, the cymbal delivers exceptional stick definition with minimal wash, making it equally at home in studio, jazz, fusion, and contemporary settings.
The Flat Top Ride was never a high-production model and remained something of a specialty cymbal. Early Turkish-made examples are considerably scarcer than later American-made K Flat Rides and are prized by collectors and jazz players for their hand-crafted character.
Comes with a Certificate of Authentication signed by Tris Imboden!
