Product Description

Consistent, traditional Avedis soundI spent a few hours on this cymbal to compare it to my circa late 60s Avedis Zildjian 22" ride and was amazed by the way this new cymbal matched my vintage one in exact sound and performance.
It has a nice wash of subtle overtones, yet a high definition ping. It is apparent that Zildjian is using the same alloys and techniques to make this one that they used when they made my vintage cymbal, which is well over 30 years old.
If you play jazz this cymbal will give you a distinct, traditional sound when playing triplets. In fact, having played on Sabians and Paistes I can say with confidence that for traditional jazz Zildjian has a distinct edge in getting the right sound, and this cymbal is one you should invest in.
