Hey guys, how are we doing?
Today I've come to ask our vintage Zildjian fanatics about the Avedis line.
The time has come for me to upgrade from my 20" B8 Ride, sadly. I have looked, listened, tested, and touched just about every ride that I could get a hand one.
The one that really caught my eye was a 20" Zildjian Armand ride, I just really liked the sound of it. I did a little more research on it, and found out that it was based on the 60's/70's sounding Avedis lines. I checked up on eBay, and sure enough, vintage Avedis rides were aplenty, along with having lower prices.
My question is that do vintage rides really sound anything like the Armand line? In fact, does any currently made cymbal sound like a vintage Avedis? If so, what brand/model? Don't be afraid to school me with lines like "Nothing sounds vintage!" cause honestly, I was born in 1993. These cymbals are twice as old as I am, if not more.
Thanks for the help!
