Here's a really nice early 60s A that would make a great LSR for jazz. I bought it to pair with another 60s A, but that one is much brighter, while this one is dark and complex.

Asking $225 plus shipping and open to trading, especially for Zildjian 60s A hats.

Video Here and apologies for the shakiness, my kids were the videographers!

Hey, I think the vid came out pretty good. Sounds quite fine. Those vintage A's can be way louder than we expect - you're barely touchin' it!

I sold a 1304g 18” 60’s A locally recently. Nice one but I have another one at 1160g, super thin and kind of rare for a 18” A from 60’s.

That's really thin, I've rarely come across any under 1200g. The ones ~ 1300g are really nice both as crashes and for a light LSR for jazz.

Hmmm depends really, I had a large cup 18” from 60’s that was at 1304g and I sold it locally a couple months ago. It was a good ride but sort of stiff for a nice crash. This very light one is a nice crash ride, it’s in great condition too.
