1960s Zildjian (Avedis) 15" Bottom Hat question.....?

Posts: 2148 Threads: 177

Im wondering about this cymbal....

It was listed locally as a 16" cymbal....

The seller lives close by, so I stopped by with my main (go to) 16" crash Cym & std/stxs, thought to listen to them both....see if they work together..

However once in my hands, I noticed the 60s stamp,..but it seemed small & heavy..

So I layed it over my 16" & it was smaller (15" to be exact) ..

Also I brought my digital scale with me & it weighed in at 1275grams.!

I passed on it...!

Then thought, this is a 15" BOTTOM HAT cymbal..

From the worn area around the Center hole looks like it's been on the bottom of a Hihat std..

*My main question is...

60s Zild 15" bottom hat.....is 1275grams about right for a med to heavy hat..?

Or could it be part of a set of stand up, crash cyms (using the leather straps)..?

I only have 12" 13" & 14" (but the 14s are paper thin),...

*My go to hats are the 60s 13"s ...600gr Top & 900gr Bottom.

Great shape, just aged..

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

I actually like vintage 15" A's at this weight. Some of my faves. Very articulate without having to lay into them hard.
