Dan has a brick of AJ6s for lower sound level gigs or for things like playing behind a vocalist. His normal stick of choice is VF 5As. He does play with a fairly light touch though. He is considering using AJ6s with this cymbal. I've always loved the sound of the AJ6s more than than he has. I think the AJ6s may also stress the cymbal less.

Due to the rareness of this cymbal, I think he is considering using it only on the occasional acoustic small ensemble jazz gigs, perhaps a few times a year.

Bill-this is the only 22" Type II that you have seen?

Mike

Yes, the one and only.

You can always see it again if you're in the neighborhood.:)

O.K. homie, I'll let you know when I'm ready to slide by the crib.

Maxwell's.

I never look at their vintage A section..

hmm. Just did. They must have 150 old 20 A's about that many 22's.

Wow. Must be heck of a storage shelf area..

didn't realize they "collected" so many A's..

Are they seperated from all other makes- - how are they sorted/ displayed- in the Store. (New York)

Bill, anyone..

Drumaholic:

Here is a profile image of the cymbal. I hope it demonstrates what I was referring to in response to your post in the New Stamp thread. The cymbal is a bit flatter on the left and a bit more bowed on the right. The right side is also slightly heavier.

As you mentioned in the new stamp thread with regard to affects of bowing when cymbals are thin, this 1900 gram 22" cymbal has less sticking definition on the flatter left side but is marginally deeper pitched. The wash when riding the left side is less controlled and can overwhelm the stick when you dig in. On the right, slightly more bowed, side, the sticking definition is much better but slightly higher pitched than on the left. The wash on the more bowed side is very well controlled and does not overwhelm the stick.

Our experience with this two faced cymbal seems to be consistent with your comments regarding bowing and thin cymbals. This 22" trans stamp doesn't sound "icy" at all, but of course even though the profile is a bit quirky, this is still a single cymbal, and when struck the whole thing will resonate regardless.

Dan's experience with this cymbal is consistent with mine. I've had the opportunity to play around with it more than he has because I'm retired and he has a day job at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center - NJPAC.

Yeah I see it. (Just trying to keeps "brands' separate )

I see it. Lucky he didn't charge for 2 cymbals (kidding ha

Sorry about that. As I said earlier I only posted there as a quick response to Drumaholic's post on the relationship of bowing and thin cymbals.

That's ok..
