Here's a radically new top ride cymbal with an extra large cup (bell) that is almost as wide as its flattened bow. This oversized cup produces a wide variety of sounds and powerfully projects them in an unusual and exciting way for the special rhythm effects found in today's many different types and styles of music. Available in 16" through 22" diameters.(1)

This cymbal is one of several models which are easily recognizable by shape. It was produced for just one year: 1970. All known examples wear what we nickname
the "60s" trademark stamp on it. The data for these novel 1970s models collectively has shown that what we nickname the "60s" trademark stamp was in factory use until 1979. The "60s" is still true in the sense that tells us when it started in use. However there is more work to do to determine if a particular cymbal was manufactured in the 1960s or the 1970s. A separate page on that topic is coming soon.
