Mystery cymbals

Hello,

I have a set of 15" hats that simply have the letter "S" stamped on them. That is the only mark on them. Any ideas?

These are Zildjian seconds.

[COLOR="Green"]....circa 1960's....

These are funny...of the few I have had or played, they seemed perfectly alright to me. Matter of fact, I have a 20" ride which is actually quite good...as good as any other A. Zildjian I have had.....

Only thing which is perhaps odd about it is that the bell proportion is larger than the typical older A....[/COLOR]

I had one that has a slight discoloration on the metal, otherwise was a nice, balanced ping ride cymbal.

Good one L-D....I wonder if it came with a "base" drum, small & medium drums that sit on top of the Base drum and the large drum that sits on the floor? LOL....Jump For Joy
