ALOY 16" Crash, 1960s.

Used 16" crash, in very good condition, no defects. Has eight rivet holes. 982 grams.

Finding information about Aloy seems to be a difficult task; what I can say is that it was a small shop active in Rome between the 50s and the early 70s in Via S. Nicola da Tolentino, a stone's throw from Piazza Barberini. Prof. Dario Aloy built the drums in his shop, often with makeshift materials and tools. His drums were often accompanied by cymbals engraved with his name; the writing "Aloy Roma" is still clearly visible.

A fairly rare cymbal, presumably produced by Ufip; it has a soft timbre and a fair amount of volume.
