Now times to keep my Drummerworld forum friends updated...
For the last 12 month, I'm the owner of a Tama HH905 Lever glide Hi-Hat stand and a black Roc-n-Soc throne with backrest. Since last March, I have upgraded all my Sabian B8 to AAXplosion (I benefited from Sabian last promotion), I bought a 16" AAXplosion, received my 15" and then bought on the bay a 18" AAXplosion in mint condition.
A week ago, I was blessed by the Gods of Bronze ! In a local internet ad was posted the sale of an unknown vintage 20" ride for only 10$, fortunately the seller posted a picture of the cymbal. My knowledge of pie hammering told me it was a Zildjian A ride. After transaction completion, I looked at the "weak" stamp to find out it was a Zildjian A Turkish Cymbal Made in Canada (without the three dot) in medium-thin to thin weight. These were made from 1970 to 1972 in Canada before Sabian took ownership of the NB plant.
Here I post the original ad Unknow ride picture, pictures of the 70s Zildjian A Top & Bottom (with Flash - without flash) after good cleaning and couple of birdview pic of my latest setup (dont mind the dust on my kit or cymbals, they're part of who I am... rusted & dusty ).
Little Montage. Nothing professional just to give an idea...
