For sale is a vintage 22" Avedis Zildjian Ride Cymbal, weighing 3,220 grams (3.22 kg). Based on the trademark stamp, this cymbal appears to date to the late 1950s or early 1960s (exact production year not guaranteed). It is a genuine U.S.-made Avedis Zildjian cymbal with its original finish and natural vintage patina.

The cymbal has not been polished, preserving the finish and character collectors appreciate. It shows honest cosmetic wear consistent with decades of use, including light stick marks, fingerprints, and minor tape residue from a previous owner.

The cymbal has been carefully inspected and has a keyholed center hole, as shown in the photos. No cracks, edge cracks, flea bites, or repairs are present, and the cymbal lies flat. It remains structurally sound and performs as intended. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description.

At 3,220 grams, this is a medium-heavy vintage ride with excellent stick definition, controlled wash, and strong projection. It is well suited for classic rock, blues, country, big band, and general-purpose playing while still retaining the warm, musical character associated with vintage Avedis Zildjian cymbals.

Please refer to the photos of the trademark stamp and other identifying features when determining the production era.
