Zildjian 20" A Medium Ride comparison (LIKE NEW versus HEAVILY USED, both post 2013 revamp)

Older one from 2014 and new one from 2020. The older one is not mine and is part of the house kit of the practice room.
If you like to hear the difference, you'll hear it, but the two cymbals were definitely within the range of being called "the same product."

Siempre me llamo la atención los PLATILLOS de la batería como se siente la vibración que te llega hasta lo mas profundo de tu ser, gracias amigo.

I have Roland Cymbals i just added extra foam and they sound way better

[@mrcymbalhead]

Thanks. I have always admired Ringo's sound of cymbals, and I'm trying to capture it as much as possible.

[@bernardrooney105]

The older one sounds lighter

[@mjm5081]

Both nice cymbals. I prefer the first one. It has a little more wash.
Love the SD4 Combo sticks! Used those for years.
Happy Drumming!!!

[@mrcymbalhead]

I didn't intentionally make it clear, but I also prefer the newer one to be honest.
Thank you for your comment!

@1 Oh Yes that 20'' Ride Cymbal that was signed by Chuck Berry well it was a thick Cymbal it had no dings or dents in it, Very well built, and all those years you would think that it would have some dings in it, my wife said i should have kept that Cymbal but i didn't know it was signed after the fact it could have been worth a whole lot more.👍

How Did you Setup your Boom Arm for the Centre Cymbal is the Arm connected to the Tom Bar , that's where I Clamped mine but wasn't sure cause of the weight on the Tom Arm.
I just bought the 5 Piece Mesh Cymbal Pack on Amazon for $123.00 60% to 70% Low Volume you get in the Cymbal package 14'' Hi Hats / 16'' Crash / 18'' Crash / 20'' Ride / I got the Stainless Steel Chrome Cymbals that matches the Chrome Rings on my Drums, you could also get other colors of these Cymbals ( BLUE, / RED, / or RAINBOW Color ).👍 ALSO

Hi, the cymbal stand is standing on itself and the tom is mounted on the bass drum.

I sold my Drum kit last year. and bought a Electronic Drum Kit.
But I kept all of my Zildjian Cymbals and I decided to bring them to the Drum Store,
So What I didn't know that my 20'' Ride about them was they offered me a lot of Money for because the 20'' Ride Zildjian in fact all of them were from the 1950's and all of in graved name Zildjian I thought that I was only getting like $150 for all of them, So the Drum guy had to Call another guy he looked at them and told me he wanted to make me an offer for All of them $5,000 Cash. Why because they were Signed by Chuck Berry's Drummer also in graved by the Company Zildjian.

[@mrcymbalhead]

I watched some of your vides and was surprised that your e-kit sounds really great!
And thanks for sharing the interesting story. A Zildjians must have been a rock'n'roll staple back in the day.
