Detail 01
China profile
Upturned flange and inverted bell give a trashy, fast attack with no ping — a wash you ride on, not a stick voice.

1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 22-inch Byzance Jazz china ride with sizzles. For drummers who want a trashy, sustained crash-ride voice in low-volume playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Jazz drummers wanting a trashy accent that still holds a ride pattern
- Session work needing a wash-heavy crash with long decay
- Players covering ride and effect duties with one cymbal
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers needing a clean, articulate ride stick definition
- Loud rock and metal where a thin china folds up
- Anyone who dislikes constant sizzle under every stroke
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Sizzles (rivets)
Permanent sustain shimmer under every note. Extends decay and blurs articulation. Cannot be switched off without removing them.
Detail 03
22 in. diameter
Large for a china. Slower response, deeper pitch and much longer sustain than an 18 or 20.
Detail 04
Jazz series weight
Thin and low-volume. Opens fast at soft dynamics and will overplay if you hit it hard.
Detail 05
Traditional finish
Lathed and buffed surface. Warmer and darker than a raw or brilliant equivalent.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Thin jazz-weight cymbals crack if played with rock-volume force
- 02Mount china-side down or up — angle changes attack and stick feel
- 03No cymbal stand, felts or sleeve included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as my main ride?
Only if you want wash instead of definition. The china profile and rivets remove stick articulation, so patterns read as texture rather than pulse.
02Can the rivets be removed?
They can be taken out, but the holes stay and the cymbal will not sound like an unriveted one afterward.
03Is it loud enough for rock?
It projects, but Jazz-series weight is thin. Rock-volume playing risks cracking it and it will not cut through distorted guitars cleanly.
04Which way should it be mounted?
Inverted (bell down) gives the classic fast trash. Mounted upright it is darker and more ride-like. Both work.
