Product Description:

Introducing the Zildjian 22" A Zildjian Swish Knocker, a unique blend of ride and effects cymbal that's a true game-changer for drum enthusiasts. Zildjian, a brand that has shaped musical history from Beethoven to the Beatles, brings you a cymbal that excels in any musical setting.

With its distinct stick definition and funky ride beat, this cymbal delivers a roaring overtone and sizzle effect that can cut through any mix.
