Weighing in at a lovely 2732 grams, this over half century old Vintage Zildjian plays like a great Medium Thin to Medium DRY 22. The stick attack is prominent, actually this Zildjian has on of the STRONGEST definitions I’ve heard on a cymbal from this era. This 22″ may have been a “DANCE RIDE – they were produced to cut through BIG BANDS – back when BIG BAND music was THE NEW HOT SINGLE! Sometimes these old Zildjians have a tendency to wash out…. The attack resides noticeably above the wash—and when you’re swingin’ hard on this 22, the edges. B L U R. Beautifully, BUT, the wash does not get out of control. And that’s the magic of this 1940s Vintage 22. The metal IS SOFT! It’s AGED 70 years! The tone is very well balanced, not to too bright, and not too dark (it’s semi-dark). The pitch is medium to medium low and this cymbal is fairly focused with an Old School chime-like attack. This 22 is more controlled than its thinner, complex brothers. Again, which is why I think it was designed for big band, swing, and definitely Roseland Ballroom type of gigs. LIVE playing where you need good swinging attack to hit over the horns. This Vintage Zildjian 22″ plays like a medium but it ALSO has that quintessential 1940s “softness to it. You can dig into a bit when playing—hard to describe but you certainly know it when you FEEL IT! This cymbal has a “played in” vibe to it, which is not surprisingly considering it is from the 1940s. The bell is strong and solid and the center hole measures just under. Amazing chime-like stick definition followed by a gorgeous well balanced, warm, semi-dark, subtle edge-bluring wash that REMAINS CONTROLLED. THAT’S THIS RARE ZILDJIAN!! If you want a Vintage tone then go to the source. THIS cymbal is THE SOURCE! Obviously this 1940s/early50s Vintage Zildjian 22 Ride is a no brainer for jazz, swing, definitely BIG BAND, jump blues, hard bop, bebop, ballads, and soul. But the fun sure as hell doesn’t stop there. The great stick attack and organic vintage tone is perfect for funk, fusion, rockabilly, early R&B, early rock’n’ roll, country, pop, classic rock, session work, LIVE and ANYTIME you need a Classic 1940s Vintage Zildjian well balanced tone WITH great definition that remains controlled.
