16” A Zildjian Paper Thin Crash CO Stamp [1982–1987] 868g
A beautiful vintage 16” A Zildjian Paper Thin Crash from the CO stamp era, dating to approximately 1982–1987.
At just 868g, this is a wonderfully lightweight and responsive crash, offering the delicate, expressive character that makes vintage Paper Thin cymbals so desirable.
Its exceptionally thin construction allows it to open up effortlessly, even at low playing dynamics. Expect a quick, soft attack, warm shimmering overtones and a smooth, musical decay.
The 16” diameter provides a fuller sound than smaller Paper Thin crashes while retaining excellent sensitivity and control.
