EARLY Vintage SABIAN HH Hand Hammered 21” Heavy Ride 3298 g CANADIAN K Dark Defined

 This is an EARLY Sabian HH Ride - and it’s in the damn near impossible to find 21” size!!  I’ve never even seen this cymbal in this size.   This is the direct descent of the Zildjian CANADIAN K. I’ve owned several of those and that’s exactly how this Vintage Sabian Hand Hammered HH looks, feels and sounds.  Same very low, deep profile and pitch, telltale heavy Hand Hammering all around the bell out to the edge. Incredible stick attack with a very dark wash.  As many of you may know, Zildjian Canada became Sabian when the brothers had a hissy fit. Robert ZILDJIAN started Sabian.  The 70s Zildjian Canadian Ks became 80s Sabian HHs, and are basically the scion of the vintage Old School (Istanbul) Zildjian Ks...before they disappeared for a decade and then entered the modern era. I believe the Canadian Ks (and Early HHs) were Hand Hammered by the Zildjian artisans from Istanbul who were brought over to the Zildjian Canadian plant in the late 60s/70s.
