Very cool. Yes, I believe that was the logo from before Sabian, although I believe the "Sabian B20" line were the same or similar. I have been told that there are some with the Sabian B20 ink on them that have a Tosco engraving. Some also have both engravings. Kind of sad that they became lesser cymbals after that. Not horrible, but not the same.

Hellooo!

Strangely I picked up an identical looking pair (stamps and all) about a month ago...which are also very nice but have just been eclipsed by some UFIP Class Heavy 14s for a blues project...but the Toscos are keepers!

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. Rob

Great stuff Rob, I use these hats in the studio and they record really well. With Hi Hats I really like light, thin hats that are on the mellow side and don't overpower. These are kind of in the middle in that they're definitely mellow, but they have a bit of a bite to them. Played open don't wash over everything with a big loud hiss making them good for recording. Love these hats! :)

Glad you found a great pair!

Now I am tempted by a Tosco ride I spotted!

:)

Nice! If the ride cymbal is the same bronze and the same type of roto-cast cymbal as the hi hats then it should be a nice cymbal. Very musical. Best of luck. :)

Well if it tempts you, go for it.

On reflection I think I need to slow down abit and enjoy not only my recently acquired vintage UFIP Solid Ride 88 but also my even more recent Ufip Class 22" Ride!...

"Step away from Ebay!"

:)

Ha ha! I hear that. I need to do the same. No more eBaying for me for a while. :)
