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.

@@boomerguy9935To me this looks more visually similar to the original take 5 zildjian than the zildjian recreation.
@@NEALBABBITT the weight is nearly identical (2192g)
@@boomerguy9935 the flat ride was created after a comment made by Joe to Paiste.
