I have two old Zildjan cymbals and an old set of Zildhan hi hats. I dont know exactly when they were purchased but i am assuming that they were new when my dad bought the drum set I rock now. The drum set is a Slingerland Red Tiger Pearl kit from probably 1970 give or take a bit. I don't know much about anything pertaining to drums so I thought that maybe Slingerland offered certain cymbale with certain drums or whatever.
I was wondering what to look for on the cymbal to identify it. They are a dull color now and I dont know if I will be able to shine them up or not. I am leaning towards not from a preliminary bout with the brasso! I really never measured them but there is a crash and a ride. I also inherited a sizzler cymbal that has only two little rivets left that looks pretty old too. I can't see my old man buying it later on as they played country music when he was giggin it a bit. Who knows?
In summation- what do I look for on these cymbals to identify them?
thanks,
