Hey guys, I had to share my incredible find with you all..
I've recently been looking for a nice bright ride I can use in a pop/rock setting but that can be crashed. I've experimented with a lot of the popular ones but there's always something I don't really dig about each one. Usually the tone, sometimes the weight or the wash or the bell or more recently, its ability to cut through the guitars in my rock band.
But yesterday at work, sitting in the used rack was a pre-owned 20" Zildjian A Custom Ride, but it's like no other of it's kind. As soon as I grabbed it, I could feel the thinner outside of the cymbal. The bell was also smaller, and more integrated into the cymbal, as opposed to the real prominent, pronounced bells on the newer A Custom rides.
I threw it on a stand, rode on it a little bit, and then hit the crash. What a sound! (Wasn't this dramatic, but I was very happy to find something like it)
Anyone know the deal with older A Custom rides like this?
