  • Here’s one of the greatest cymbals Zildjian ever made! 

  • So of course…….they discontinued it!!!!

  • The pain!  The pain!!    

  • But I’m an analgesic!  And so it is with pride and joy that I offer this very rare, very clean, 20 year old beauty to ease the pain! 
  • The famous 22” Zildjian Red Label Oriental China Trash and in magnificent shape! 

  • This China is unlike any other Zildjian ever offered.  It actually lives up to its name. And it’s Brilliant too. 

  • Super low profile on this glorious 22”. 

  • Zildjian described this beauty as:

  • "Authentic "trashy" Chinese sound. Very fast, explosive response with rapid decay."

  • And then they went and discontinued it!!  For shame Zildjian! 

  • The weight is a wonderfully THIN 2292 grams. One swipe at this Giant 22" yield a DARK, organic, fairly complex tone. One of the best modern Zildjian Chinas they ever made. 

  • The pitch is medium low and what's particularly great about this 22” is that it’s huge but also mellow and still has a nice complexity to it.

  • And despite its mellower vibe, the attack cuts extremely well if you lay into it--just as Zildjian promises. The sustain is medium long. This is a terrific sounding versatile big, dark Zildjian 22".

  • It’s responsive but also BIG. So it can go from a whisper to a roar with ease.  

  • At this Beast will sing with rivets, if you're so inclined. It's dark and has a mellow side. And with a plain this big this 22" beckons for you to ride on it a la alternate Swish China Ride cymbal.  

  • Very hard to find when it actually was being produced.  And Zildjian discontinued it long ago.  

  • But as many a cymbalholic knows, THIS is the Zildjian Swish to get.  

  • And ever since the modern era, china cymbals because more harsh and smaller and more brash.  

  • That’s exactly why THIS one is so sought after - it plays like a gorgeous hand hammered beauty from the 1950s.  

  • Amazing shape. Brilliant finish.  No issues. Light patina that has graced it over the last 20 years.  

  • Damn near impossible to find.  Awesome.
