Description

Reminiscent of cymbals of the 30’s through the 60’s and yet distinctly modern and relevant, the A Avedis Cymbals from Zildjian are a vintage recreation of the timeless sound and feel produced by some of the biggest drumming icons of the 20th century. Named in his honor, Avedis Zildjian III helped form the backbone of popular music, from swing to bebop to the explosion of rock and roll.

A Avedis cymbals are an extremely versatile set of cymbals that are thin and loose, with a played-in feel and immense musicality. Each cymbal features a patina finish that reproduces the look of a decades-old cymbal. With broad weight variations among each diameter, selecting an A Avedis cymbal is a unique experience. Gram weights of each cymbal are written underneath the bell. A reproduction of Avedis Zildjian’s signature and an old “rolled” trademark appear on the top of the cymbal, along with a vintage “outline” Zildjian logo underneath.

Suitable for riding or crashing, this A Avedis Crash offers soft articulation, dark shimmer and a smoky finish.

    For years, I've wondered why the cymbal sounds on all the records I love from the 60s were so hard to find in music stores. Well, these are it. I'll never touch another line for as long as I live.

  • Love this one.

    This group of cymbals, A Avedis have that " old school" sound and looks. I enjoy playing these cymbals with oldies rock, country western, polka and big band groups.

  • Brings back the sounds of the 50's & 60's

    This 20 inch A Avedis replicates the cymbals of the past with a fresh unique look and upgraded sound. It gives a unique fresh ride and crash sound along with the 18 inch and A Avedis hi-hats. Look no further if you want to bring back the sounds of past decades yet retain a modern sound.

  • I want more of these cymbals. Would buy a 16" crash if made.

    The wash is great sounding, but not enough attack for a ride. A little light so I have to tighten it down in order t get enough of a ping when using the ride, otherwise it sounds like me riding a crash.
