Mid 50's Zildjian A 22" Ride?

Posts: 244 Threads: 25

Just traded for this really cool 22" Zildjian A Rideelectricit

Such a beautiful dark sound and stick contact clarity(not sure how to describe this)Hmmmm

Its a fantastic sounding and looking addition to my '66 Star kit!

I think it's a late 50's to early 60's cymbal due to the clarity and heavieness of the stamp, but don't know much about this. Experienced thoughts would be appreciated here.

It sounds fantastic!

Should I worry about or attempt to fix the slight keyholing to impact the sound?

Late '50's, and I'd leave that keyhole alone.

I'll go to the UPS store near my house today to weigh it. I'll post when I find out.

I was initially looking to trade this guy for a later era, 20", but it was gone. When I pressed him for another ride (he was really interested in the drums I was trading) he took this from his son's kit. He didn't realize it's size initially, but we both got excited when we found out.

I love trading gear!
