  • One of the thinnest 22s” you’ll come across. Can easily play it with your hand. 
  • A stunning and inconceivably PAPER THIN Hand Hammered 22” Bosphorus PROTOTYPE China Swish with the most luscious 4” lip, ripe for the striking. 

  • This angelic beauty plays like a Hand Hammered Zildjian China Swish from the 1940s or 1950s. None of this 18” A Custom China stuff. This massive 22” celebrates the sounds of yore. Paper thin and super smoky with a golden complexity. 

  • Weighing in at an incredibly svelte 1664 grams, this glowing goddess is exceptionally responsive and comes to life with even the slightest swipe. 

  • Perfect for brushes or even hand percussion - yes it’s that responsive! Very Swish-like rounded-over wide lathe bell and the pagoda-shaped profile gives it a wonderful Old World complex and smoky tone. It LOOKS like an old-school Swish with a golden fat, Hand Hammered lip. So thin the edges are wavy and it came from the factory that way - the tension is that paper thin and bendable! 

  • When you ride on it, it delivers a semi-dry stick attack with a hint of trashiness for KNOCKING! As in Swish Knocker. Great for the Mel Lewis thing. 

  • Goes from whisper to a roar easily. Dark. Complex. Smoky. Opens quickly. Has no problem cutting but can be quiet too.

  • When you crash on the edge it explodes. 

  • But the rain that follows will heal. Immaculate condition. Wavy swooping edge - came from the factory way. Ultra thin and bendable. 

  • The only one I have. No big company makes anything close to this.
