introducing myself via a few older cymbals

Posts: 8 Threads: 2

Greetings, everyone,

I've been registered to this forum for a few years now, but I've never had much reason to post, as I don't have that many "vintage" instruments. (I appreciate vintage instruments, I just don't own many!) ;) I keep seeing the "Our records indicate that you have never posted to our site before..." message each time I stop in, so I guess this is as good a time as any.

Just by way of an introduction, here are a few of the older cymbals I've got:

A few my pre-serial 602 rides:

22" -

24" (going to the grave with me) -

20" -

(I've also got a 21" pre-serial ride and 14" hats.)

--

22" A Zildjian, which I've been told is from the late '50s (all I know for sure is that it sounds really good):

They all look scrumptious. Are you also on Cymbalholic?

Thanks! The larger 602s in particular are outstanding cymbals; the 21" is very good, and the 20" (a little hefty at 2480g) is "only" a very good "bog standard 20 inch medium ride." It doesn't have the "ooh factor" of the larger ones - it simply sounds great, does its job, and goes back into the bag. ;)

The Zildjian is up around 2550g, but still crashes quite well, and the "stick" is very clear, very articulate.

And yes, I'm on CH (same user name), and have been for a few years, although I don't post all that often.

I thought I recognized the name. Welcome.
