Description

Product Details and Characteristics:

• Sound: These cymbals are praised for their beautiful stick articulation, warm overtones, and a shimmering, “smoky” sustain when the rivets engage. They offer a versatile sonic palette, performing well in jazz but also adaptable to fusion and pop genres.
• Weight: Vintage models typically fall within a range, with specific examples on merchant sites listed at around 2318g or 2374g. The weight affects the sound, with lighter cymbals being airier and darker, and heavier ones offering more pronounced stick definition.
• Construction: They are crafted from the proprietary B20 bronze alloy blend. The vintage models often have a specific stamp and patina (natural aging), which contributes to their unique, mellowed tone.
• Rivets: The number of rivets can vary; some original factory models had six rivets. The rivets can be removed for sound customization, but models with all original, intact rivets are considered rare and desirable.
