Zildjian Armand Ride Cymbal
The Zildjian Armand Ride Cymbal is a classic A Zildjian
ride that offers a sweet shimmering quality of overtones without loss of control
or ride articulation. The Armand Ride cymbal features a larger sized cup for
excellent bell access.
Based on the popular 19" Armand Ride and the inimitable sound of the '60s,
Zildjian proudly introduces the Armand series into the A Zildjian Cymbal range.
During the explosion of rock and pop music of the '60s, the great drummers of
groundbreaking bands used A Zildjian cymbals to make their mark. You can hear
Zildjian's distinctive sound in the great recordings of that era, from The
Beatles to The Beach Boys, from Cream to The Jimi Hendrix Experience, from The
Rolling Stones to The Spencer Davis Group. Zildjian has now resurrected that
nostalgic cymbal sound with these exciting new models.
New shaping techniques create a slightly lower profile than tht found on A
Zildjian cymbals and help to offer a special warm and smooth blend of overtones.
Lighter weight specifications promote a fast cymbal response with special
lower-pitched overtones without the loss of projection potential.
Zildjian left these babies without any protective coating to help promote the
aged look and patina that cymbals from the '60s would have today. A tighter
lathe on top combined with the current A Zildjian lathing on the bottom results
in a unique feel for each new Armand Cymbal model. |
