I have an early 1930s A Zildjian HH cymbal that was clearly used with a smaller pairing, something like what you'd see in the below photo. The wear pattern is exactly 12.25 inches across while the cymbal is 13.75.
Questions abound. What does a set-up like that actually sound like? Are there any benefits of such a HH combo? Been thinking of giving it a shot when I've seen a suitable mate come up on eBay but I'm not sure if I'd be gaining anything other than looking like some jazz hack from 1933. Cost isn't really a factor as it won't kill me to drop 100 buck if I think something good will come of it.
