Amedia Old School Series

Old School is one of the most recent of Amedia's many series. The first thing is that all Amedia cymbals are hand-crafted from cast B20 bronze in the traditional style which has been synonymous with Istanbul over the past century and has roots going back at least to the founding of Zildjian in 1623.

The Turkish K Zildjian is the prototype on which jazz was founded. The transplanting of Zildjian to America opened up the path of the modern cymbal's colossal evolution, but there is a large and increasing constituency of drummers who want the traditional dark and dry sound. Old School aims to provide that.

The cymbals look most distinctive - a rich coffee brown with raw hammered, leopard spot bells and thickly grooved upper and lower surfaces. Amedia says the colour is due to the Old School's unique, secret, alloy. The blood red logo and denomination add to the distinctive look.
