22" Tony Williams Tribute 60's Era Ride
When Miles Davis invited the 17-year-old Tony Williams to join his new Quintet, the music world would be forever changed ... and the art of drumming would never be the same. Not only did Tony set a new standard in drumming with this revolutionary group but the very sound of his instrument, in particular that of his cymbals would set a benchmark to which, still to this day, all others would aspire.
Now, Colleen Williams, Tony’s wife, has teamed with the Istanbul Mehmet Co. to create the utmost in faithful replicas of these now iconic cymbals as a heartfelt and quintessential tribute to the legendary drummer. Istanbul Mehmet, the original Turkish cymbal makers, were granted exclusive access by Colleen, to the actual cymbals used by Tony Williams on the Miles Davis Quintet’s historic 60’s recordings. As if they needed even more extraordinary lineage, this exquisite set of cymbals was given to Tony by his friend and mentor, the great Max Roach.
