Vintage Zildjian A 22" 1970s Ride w/ Rivet Holes 2847g

Vintage 1970s Zildjian A 22-Inch Ride Cymbal with Rivet Holes 2847g

This Vintage 1970s Zildjian A 22-Inch Ride Cymbal weighs 2847 grams and delivers the balanced combination of stick definition, warmth, and musical spread that has made older A Zildjian rides enduring favorites among drummers.

At this medium-heavy weight, the cymbal provides a clear, articulate ride pattern with a strong fundamental and enough body to remain present in a full band mix. The 22-inch diameter adds depth and projection, while the classic 1970s A Zildjian character gives the cymbal a broad, slightly complex wash that opens naturally as it is played harder.

Multiple rivet holes have been added around the cymbal, allowing the next owner to install rivets and create a traditional sizzle effect. Used without rivets, the holes have only a minor influence on the cymbal's overall response while preserving the option to customize its sustain and texture.
