That's an A Zildjian that was found to have a minor flaw at the factory, and was sold as a "Second".

Yoshi is right, it's a Type 2a Old Stamp from the 40's. Is it 19" on the nose, or slightly over/under? This 19" Type 2a 1648 grams just sold for $...
13 years agoCymbal worth
I tend to agree with Zenstat - it's just too complicated a market to generalize across the board. Most middle end cymbals have gone down over the past...

13 years agok. zildjians from Turkey.

I've wondered before if the famous Rogers 20-12-16 combo had anything to do with shipping. It's one of the few setups that can be nested in one box,...

It seems there was a week or two in the mid 60's that Gretsch ran out of silver paint, and you've got one of the drums from that week! I've had a few...
