Description
A Zildjian
- Also called a "Big Bell" cymbal and sometimes informally a "Cowbell cymbal". (1)
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)
Information from:
- 1970 Zildjian ad
This cymbal is one of several models which is easily recognizable by its shape and was made in the 1970s but which has what we nickname the "60s" trademark stamp on it. The data for all these models 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.
