Zildjian AA18C A Avedis Vintage Crash Cymbal 18"

A Avedis are thin, loose and crashable but also offer ample stick definition and a clear bell sound for ride patterns. Finished with an "aged" patina, A Avedis re-creates the look and sound of vintage A Zildjian cymbals.
‘A Zildjian’ cymbals began with Avedis Zildjian III. Popular music of the 1930s-1970s demanded cymbals of extreme versatility: dynamic and controllable HiHats, clean and cutting Crashes, thrilling and rich Rides, all with a loose feel and immense musicality. It was these cymbals, crafted by Avedis Zildjian III in the mid-20th century, that helped drive the beat of an era that changed music forever. These unique sounds were instrumental in driving music into a period that not only shaped popular culture, but transformed the way we hear music.
