Zildjian A Hollow Ink Logo

Posts: 328 Threads: 92

I have been looking for a crashable ride lately. I found a 22" Zildjian A with the hollow ink logo. The cost of the cymbal is $135.00.

Without me mentioning what I was looking for the seller mentioned that it was a good crashable ride with a great bell sound.

The weight of the cymbal is 3200 grams. Pretty heavy I know.

My questions are as follows:

Is this cymbal from the late 70's early 80's?

Does anyone have experience with a cymbal similar to this one and if so do you think it will meet my demands?

Based on what I have learned on this forum a 3200 gram cymbal can still sound washy depending on taper and where the metal is distributed.

The third pic shows the logo on the underside of the cymbal.

Cymbal is from the 70's and at 3200 grams, I doubt you'll get much wash. I have a 22" Zildjian cymbal from the 50's it weight about 2000 and it can't help but wash, because it's light. 1000 grams heavier will be very dry...

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....
