  • If you like the old-school Vintage-vibe Chinas and Swishes from the 1940s and 1950s then this BIG Hand Hammered 22” will have you beaming!

  • Rare FACTORY stamped SWISH that is exceptionally mellow but can yield a roar when laid in to. Sounds incredible! 

  • Have a listen. 

  • Rare, glowing warm Istanbul Mehmet fully lathed Traditional Swish in the glorious, huge 22” size.   
  • Hand Hammered. Low profile.  Smaller rounded over bell that gives it a pinch of control and makes it rideable. 

  • 1667 grams makes it very THIN and incredibly responsive! One of the thinner chinas you’ll find. 

  • The beautiful circular Hand Hammered 3” flanged edge is ripe for striking.

  • Look at the craftsmanship.  Stunning!  
  • Mellow with a light complexity. Dark, organic, extremely responsive at lower volume settings but has no problem cutting - it has a biting quick attack with a terrific golden glow.  

  • Glorious as an alternate Ride - a la Mel Lewis. The stick attack is strong, especially for a fully lathed China. 

  • Amazing Condition. Only played for the demo.  Thats it! What BIG china should be!

  • Rare factory Swish!
