We added a variety of intricate details to make this collection truly something special including its timeless, individual "aged" patina to the classy and understated "Avedis" logo, to the original hollow "Zildjian" logo underneath.

Find the cymbal that "speaks to you" as there is a broad weight variation among each Thin model (1,474g - 1,587g) with the gram weights written underneath. So selecting an A Avedis cymbal is a personal experience.
