New Swish Knocker

Zildjian's new 22" A Zildjian Swish Knocker is said to feature a smoother and sweeter "knock," inspired by the model Mel Lewis and his orchestra made famous at the Village Vanguard. The new A Zildjian Swish Knocker, which replaces the original model, is described as having "a slightly higher profile and a less curved cup." It also features 20 rivets and a A Zildjian traditional finish.
