Pre Serial 20" Paiste 602 Joe Morello Ride at a weight of 2190 grams. Fantastic cymbal in a great condition! - SOLD - www.driftdrums... info@driftdrums.com
How did Joe Morello's name get on this cymbal? I only know of two, the original Avedis Zildjian on his "Take Five" recording and the one A-Series "Take Five Model" reissued by Zildjian Company a few years ago. This Paiste sounds great but I don't think it is a "Take Five" model, at least not legally.
CymbalWiki: Late '65, early '66 after Ludwig took over the distribution of Formula 602's for North America, Joe Morello was approached by Bill Ludwig to endorse Paiste. Since Joe played and endorsed Ludwig Drums, he was the obvious choice for a signature cymbal set baring his name. Paiste catalog: "In personal collaboration with Joe Morello, this beautiful melodically coordinated set was created" A custom set of Formula 602 cymbals made to Joe's specification (the 1st. artist model!) comprising of 14" sound edge hi hats, 17", 18" and 20" sizes. Visual cues show much finer lathing and possibly different hammering compared to the standard 602's
@@driftdrums5218 I did not know this. Thanks! I did know that Joe had endorsed other drum models over the years, but I knew nothing about his cymbal endorsements. I would like to see a comparison of the recently re-issued Zildjian Take Five model and the above cymbal. Thanks again.
