Ride I.D.?

Posts: 123 Threads: 21

So what Zildjian ride would have been sold with a 1958 WFL kit? I'm trying to I.D. what I've got. It's a 22" "block lettered" stamp like in pic below...

It is indeed a 1950's Block Stamp. Generally excellent cymbals under that stamp.

Is there any way to identify what type?

Yes.

If you maintain a sustained ride pattern on it ... it's a ride.

If you swipe across the edge and it opens up ... it's a crash.

If you do both a lot ... it's a crash/ride.

Generally speaking ... you weigh them. There are some parameters that have been put down by Zildjian over the years. You could match your weight to the era specific Zildjian guide to get an idea of the original intent of the cymbal. Make sure you use the correct era for the guide, as those have changed over the years.
