Estimated Year: 1950s–1970s (Stamp Era Approx.)

Made in: USA

Overview

This vintage Zildjian Avedis 20" ride cymbal delivers that classic, warm, musical tone that has made these cymbals a staple for decades. Featuring the iconic Avedis Zildjian Co. stamp with “Made in U.S.A.,” this cymbal falls into the highly sought-after vintage era known for its complex wash, smooth stick definition, and musical crashability.

This particular example includes multiple rivet holes around the edge, giving it that classic sizzle ride character when rivets are installed—or a dry, airy tone when played as-is. The cymbal leans toward a darker, more complex sound profile with a vintage feel that works great for jazz, blues, rock, and studio applications.
