Vintage 60s and 70s Zildjians or newer As and Ks or is it a personal preference? Also vintage vs. newer hats. Thanks, I have some of each and am looking to downsize.
Which would you want?
70s Ludwig Standard Aqua Mist
60s Ludwig Champagne Sparkle Downbeat
and a whole bunch of snares and hardware
I'd want the ones that sounded the best to my ears.

-1960s 3ply Red Sparkle Amati

I would go with my ears, as Gil has suggested. That said, if it was a deadlock - I would keep the Vintage pies. The older As (60s/70s) have slipped in value and the market is already down as it is. Therefore, it would garner more income if you sold off the newer stuff, which is seeming to keep their value compared to old As right now.

Also, seems most people (myself included) would rather keep the old Vintage stuff than have to give it up.

I would say the late 50's A would be my first choice...or the early 60's stuff. I like a lot of 60's A's but havent tried many 70's
My preference is the 60's,because it is the best era in vintage cymbals!
