This listing is for a Zildjian 19 inch A Zildjian Armand Beautiful Baby Ride Cymbal that’s in perfect, MINT condition and without the slightest flaw anywhere.
On the surface, the 19" Beautiful Baby bears Armand Zildjian's catchphrase and laser-engraved signature. And beyond, a complex alloy of tin, copper, and silver are voiced to deliver a deliberately traditional attack, great jazz stick definition, and a soft wash for subtle accents. Three rivets along the cymbal's edge give the Zildjian Armand Ride Beautiful Baby just the right amount of sizzle and sustain, with smokey, sullen, old-school characteristics. If you've been looking to vintage cymbals to recapture that traditional ride sound, here at DrumPickers, we urge you to first try the 19" Zildjian Armand Ride Beautiful Baby.
