Antique - The Bygone Sound (early Roberto Spizzichino)

There is a set from the early 90s on offer in Italy with the red ink marks which were the hand hammered ones. 14" hi-hats, an 18" and a 20", medium weights (kinda heavy compared to later Spizzichinos).

Looks like someone grabbed it.

I’m the one who got that Trans Stamp off music go round! Great cymbal. I’ll put up a little sound clip in “latest cymbal purchase” if you want to hear it.

NICE WEIGHTS, looks like 857/1087
These would be wonderful do-it-all hats. I have a pair of 70s cymbals in almost exactly the same weights, but just about 20-40g heavier per cymbal and they are my "perfect New Beats" -- I wouldn't sell them for $125!

Wow! Yeah, crazy price aside, the sound is just unpleasant to me. Wondering why they are sought after..?

It’s in the wheelhouse as far as trash and open air but no where near the musicality and seduction of a Don Roberto 24. With that said for 1/4 of the price of a Spizzichino 24 one might be happy with it lol
