Detail 01
22 inch
Two inches over standard. Lower pitch, longer sustain, bigger bell — and it needs more stand clearance than a 20.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
22-inch brilliant ride weighted for volume. For drummers who need the ride to stay audible in a loud band without disappearing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud rock and metal where a lighter ride gets buried
- Drummers who ride the bell for choruses and heavy sections
- Larger kits where a 20-inch ride looks and sounds undersized
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Quiet playing — it needs volume to sound right
- Drummers wanting a crashable, washy ride
- Small kits and tight stages where a 22 inch will not fit
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
Powerful weight
Heavier than a medium ride. Stick definition holds up at high volume and the cymbal resists washing out under hard playing.
Detail 03
Brilliant finish
Polished surface brightens the ping so the pattern stays readable even at this larger, lower-pitched size.
Detail 04
Large bell
A 22-inch ride's bell carries further than a smaller ride's. Useful for driving choruses without switching to a crash.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your cymbal stand and stage footprint handle a 22-inch cymbal
- 02No stand, felts or sleeve included
- 03Heavy rides need a firm stroke — light players will find it stiff
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Should I get a 20 or 22 inch ride?
22 inch if you play loud and want more volume, sustain and a bigger bell. 20 inch if you want tighter articulation or have limited space.
02Is it too loud for quiet playing?
It is weighted for volume, so it takes a firm stroke to sound right. At low volume it will feel stiff and under-responsive.
03Can I crash on a 22-inch powerful ride?
Not really. The heavier weight resists opening up. Use a dedicated crash for accents.
04Does the bell cut through a loud band?
Yes — that is the main reason to pick a heavier 22-inch ride. The bell is the loudest part of the cymbal and stays audible under distorted guitars.
