I have 3 x 50 cm (tad under 20" because they are metric) rides. All have the pyramid stamps.

Two also have the round "Made in Italy" pressed in underneath, the third just has the pyramid stamp itself. These oldies are all light. 1675g, 1725g and 1836g. The only rides UFiP make in that range today are the Experience Collector series rides.

I also have a pair of Class Brilliant 14" hats which are made from two 14" crashes and similarly light compared to UFiP hats. These date from when Billiant wasn't yet a separate series so they have the Experience logo. Weights are 750g and 805g. Your heavy hats will be rather different in weights from my pair!

This started when I went looking for a splash cymbal. It was a foregone conclusion that it would be a Zildjian. The 11" UFIP splash sounded way better to my brain damaged ears than anything else in the cymbal room. Then I found the 14" crash. To me it is the definitive crash cymbal sound.

8" Class series

11" Class

12" Rough series

14" Class ( the cymbal that got me hooked)

16" Class

16" Natural

18" Class

20" Class

22" Class

I think I am off to a good start with my UFIP collection, but I have a ways to go.

1971 Ludwig Rock Duo set in Blue Oyster Pearl
early Mapex dual bass drum Saturn kit
1964 Leedy Ray Mosca kit in Blue Sparkle
1959 Slingerland Super Gene Krupa snare in WMP
1968 Slingerland Hollywood Ace Snare Drum
1969 and 1977 Ludwig 400 Supraphonic snares
1965 Acrolite snare
Ludwig Coliseum snare
'68 Rogers Dynasonic snare
Pearl free floating piccolo snare
13" Mapex piccolo snare
6.5" deep Mapex steel snare
Mapex 6.5" Brass snare
I know there's more snares than that.
UFIP cymbals / Avedis Zildjians

There is a guy on Craigslist in Seattle that says he has a CB700 China made by UFIP. Apparently they have made a lot of stuff that has been relabeled by other brands.
