Zildjian Platinum Series

Posts: 12 Threads: 6

I've heard that the Zildjian Platinum Series cymbals of the '80's is a fairly rare thing to see. Here's one of the 16" thin crashes purchased in 1983.

I tried to capture the more silvery tint of this cymbal, I didn't do as well as I thoughtDOH

I remember drooling over these cymbals back in the mid 1980s. Can't remember which Twisted Sister video it was back then but all of drummer A.J. Pero's Zildjians were the Platnium series.

Sweet. I remember the ad with Troy Lucketta (sp.) (Tesla), Steve Sweet (Warrant) and someone else advertising them when they came out. would've been the late 80s, around '88. I don't think they lasted long.

Woooooooooohoooooooooooo! Finally, someone else who recognizes and names the great drummers of the best era of music. I love it. I am going to listen to Modern Day Cowboy right now, to commemorate this great occasion!Clapping Happy2

I forgot to include my bud VM2K who put up a killer video of Paradise City for me awhile back!

hacker, you got it right! I play in a band called Unlawful Entry and we play all 80s hair metal (and originals!). Check it out (there's a couple songs here): You'll have to scroll to the bottom for the 'music player'.
