Turkish Cymbals 22" Crash

22-inch crash cymbals are the kings of the grand gesture: huge volume, a wide wash and a sustain that carries entire choruses. Played softly they work as a bright sound layer; hit full on, they explode into a wall of sound. Every cymbal at Cymballand is hand-hammered and lathed in Istanbul from pure B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin) – so every 22" carries its own sonic signature.

Series in this size

The bright, explosive Bee and the brilliant Rock Beat deliver massive, assertive accents; the unlathed, polished Rock Beat Raw brings hard, aggressive power. A special place goes to the Soundscape Water Crash from Jarrod Cagwin's signature line – an atmospheric cymbal with a flowing, washy character. You'll find more sizes in our crash cymbals overview.

What a 22-inch crash is made for

A 22" crash creates broad, long-standing sound layers – perfect for epic choruses in rock and metal, or as a crash-ride hybrid: played with the stick tip it carries ride patterns, struck on the edge it delivers the grand finale. In the studio it adds cinematic depth, too.
