19" nominal trans stamp

Posts: 297 Threads: 26

You cymbalholics have already seen this.

Saw an ad on craigslist for a "60s Avedis Zildjian 18 inch" cymbal. The pictures were blurry, but it thought the hammering and stamp indicated a trans stamp.

Photos from ad:

When the guy pulled it out of his car, it was inverted. I popped it back into place without any issues. It was filthy. It had bird poop on it, which was a first for me. Kept out in the garage, I think.

Turned out to be 18.875" trans stamp @1559 grams. Not sure what type of trans stamp it is. Type I, judging by the hammering. I'm hoping someone can chine in on that.

Good stick definition and a warm crash that opens up easily. Sound files later.

The hammering on top reminds me of a first stamp.

gSonor - I went through the first 16 pages of the cymbal section here on VDF. You have some amazing cymbals. I particularly like your 18" paperthin first stamp. Do you have any recordings of it? More pics?

Right now I'm saving for a thin 24" 50s A. Hoping to find a trans stamp in my customary way. Craiglist.

Forgot to post a picture of the stamp.

Thanks Dave, I don't have any recordings but i'm working on getting some in the next week or so. I have a long weekend coming up(I work swing shift) and I plan on capturing some sounds in video form. I'll be sure to include the 18". It is truly a wonderful cymbal.

I do know a guy who has a thin 24" here in the Cleveland area. I think he wants big money for it but I played it and it's a very fine cymbal. Hollow stamp I think.

I'm sure Drumaholic will chime in on the stamp for you. I don't know them enough to distinguish the types.
