Zildjian A Avedis

Production: The label is actually Avedis’s signature, scanned from his 1939 passport. Machine hammering top and bottom plus artificial patina; cymbals have a matte finish. They have a moderate profile, and larger, pronounced bells. Each cymbal also has its own individual weight printed under the bell.¹

Company Description: Reminiscent of cymbals from the 30's through the 60's, yet distinctly modern and relevant for today’s music, the A Avedis collection is a vintage recreation of the timeless sound and feel heard and played on thousands of top hits throughout the 20th century. Named in honor of Avedis Zildjian III, the father of the modern American cymbal, this collection is thin and loose with a played-in feel and immense musicality. Each cymbal features a patina finish that reproduces the look of a decades-old cymbal with gram weights written under the bell on every A Avedis.¹
