  • ALL 20 RIVETS employed on a Vintage Zildjian Factory Swish Knocker!

  • Vintage Zildjian 22” FACTORY SWISH KNOCKER in fantastic condition and festooned with ALL Rivets. 

  • And you can hear this Rare Beauty so you can buy with confidence!

  • Zildjian described the Swish Knocker as:
    "Unique stick definition for funky ride beat with roaring overtones and sizzle effect."

  • And that is accurate.  This particular 22” ROARS - 1970s Billy Cobham vibes.  But it still has a fantastic stick attack for the alternate Mel Lewis Swish Ride tone.

  • Weighing in at a Knocker-y 3024 grams, this HUGE Vintage Zildjian Swish Knocker plays like a BIG VINTAGE China Swish and provides the perfect larger than life 22" exotic China ROAR!

  • This is THE SOUND!

  • As a ride, this Swish has a great CONTROLLED stick attack (compliments of the medium constitution) makes a terrific china, effect cymbal, or alternate ride!  

  • Magnificent for Big Band. It’s what the greats used! 

  • The cool thing about this Rare Zildjian 22" Swish Knocker is that you can use it on anything you want. Many jazz, swing, and big band enthusiasts like them because they make great alternate rides, effects, and because they're a throw back to the old chinese cymbals on contraption sets.

  • However this cymbal is certainly not limited to those genres. Its monstrous size and aggressive attack makes it quite capable in louder rock, pop, funk, fusion, world music, and soul settings. Use it ANYTIME you need a great sounding Old School HUGE Zildjian 22" Swish ROAR!

  • Theres nothing like the Original Vintage Swish Knocker with ALL RIVETS rumbling - the way it was meant to be.

  • Playable. Collectible. Damn near impossible to find these days. The REAL DEAL! Aged half-a-century with much more to say!
