    Description

    Here is a hard to find 22" K Zildjian Istanbul Ride Cymbal. It was sold at Classic Vintage Drums by Bill Maley about 10 years ago. Excellent stick definition and class, "mysterious" Turkish wash when you play it with soft mallets. We are blessed to have many fine drum and cymbal companies in the world these days. But if you are into truly classic jazz from the Blue Note Era, you know that the vintage Gretsch Drums and Istanbul hand made K Zildjian cymbals speak the truthful sound of jazz! And it is getting harder and harder to find K Zildjian Istanbul ride cymbals. Especially 22" diameter specimens. So, if you are serious about obtaining "The Sound" for yourself, you don't want to let this one get away. 2920g New Stamp series, no cracks, clear signature, and still has a little bit of shine. Hard to believe it is fifty to sixty years old. Please see photos and message me if you wish to see a youtube video of the cymbal being played.
    Thanks and good luck bidding!
