This listing is for a vintage 1950’s Zildjian A 16” TRANS STAMP Thin Crash Cymbal that’s in all but new condition. Only the faded label would suggest otherwise. The series is unknown.
The Zildjian A Series 16” TRANS STAMP Thin Crash is a very responsive cymbal, delivering a fast, bright, and lively tone. This particular cymbal was stamped a bit harder, (for a medium thin vs thin) as you can see in the pictures. This does not affect the sound at all, and is actually pretty cool considering it was a factory discrepancy.
Cast from Zildjian's secret alloy formula and finished using centuries-old processes, the thin A Zildjian Thin Crash fits in a wide variety of musical genres.
