Old vs. New Cymbals | Cymbal Sounds - Ep. 15

One of the most contentious topics in cymbals is new vs. old / modern vs. vintage. A simple search for "Old Ks" on a used gear site is enough to raise some eyebrows with the prices that these cymbals can fetch. But are they at all like they were when they were new? Does it matter? What about "pre-aging" cymbals? We've got some fun comparison blind tests for you in this one... This episode is part of a series launched in 2020 on Patreon.
