THE FAMOUS Vintage Zildjian EAK K Heavy Ride 20” 2652 g DARK DRY GADD

Here’s a famous cymbal…. I absolutely love EAKs! They are fantastic instruments and a piece of cymbal history that you can actually PLAY! Don’t pay more for a big box store K.  This is the Hand Hammered First Series American K! And it’s Dark with a pinch of complex liveliness to it. The Original 40 year old Zildjian EAK 20” Heavy Ride in fantastic shape! Dark. Dry. Supreme definition. Low pitched. Cuts exceptionally well.  Steve Gadd vibes all day.   And dig that craftsmanship. Wavy surface, very fine, leaving with the gradually sloped bell. Telltale 80s EAK.   This particular 80s EAK Heavy Ride is a pinch thinner than others and has a bit more breath and body to it.  Weighing in at a lovely 2652 grams this EAK plays like a DARK Medium to Medium Heavy Ride. The tone of the bell is remarkably solid-especially for an EAK. It's slightly integrated and cuts extremely well. As you migrate down to the plain of the cymbal, you get a strong chime-like prominent definition followed
