Tosco 22" Swish – Rotocasting – 2480g – Extremely Dynamic, Rare Italian Cymbal

Ultra-rare Tosco 22" Swish – original Italian Rotocasting, 2480g, massive dynamic range, complex and explosive.
A true collector’s piece from the short independent Tosco era before the Sabian takeover. Paper-thin edge, powerful bell, huge musical spread – this is one of the most expressive Swish cymbals you will ever hear.

Crafted using Italy’s original Rotocasting method, the cymbal features an extremely thin, flexible edge and gradually increasing thickness toward the bell. This creates a uniquely wide response range: an open, complex wash at the edge and a focused, powerful ping as you move inward. At 2480g, it sits right between Light and Medium Light, offering remarkable versatility across genres.

Dynamic Response & Sound
This Swish has an outstanding dynamic range. Played softly, it remains complex, rich and characterful, never sweet or ordinary. Every light touch speaks clearly. As intensity increases, the cymbal builds into a deep, layered wash while still maintaining a clear, cutting ping. The large Rotocast bell stays present in any volume level. Even at extreme volume or when the cymbal is hit hard, the ping remains defined and audible. This is a rare cymbal that works beautifully in jazz, fusion, rock and even metal.
