Zildjian offered Medium weight Ping cymbals in the 1950s up until some time in the 1960s.

And a very quiet video (one hand on the iPhone). Just ticking away during warm up. Should give you an idea.

Sorry for the delay. Been super busy lately. (and my finger got infect! grumble grumble grumble)

Thanks for the link! So, it seems the medium-heavy weight cymbal was only called "ping [cymbal]" whereas the heavy one was the "ping ride"?

That’s the funny thing about this thread, I have zero experience with ping rides other than tapping on a couple for fun. I didn’t even know this existed until it fell into my hands.

I will say that my Ride Cymbal slant has come from a friend who needed a ride. We made a deal that he could pick from any of the ones I could come up with (I got 5) And he ended up choosing THIS PING. I sold two of the rejects to a friend back East and I have to “slog” through the brutal agony of choosing between the two remainers.

Oh! The inhumanity.
