Building on the success of their sister company Drum Foundry, the makers of Black Swamp have taken their reputation for outstanding tone, quality, and service into a whole new arena by introducing a line of snare drums designed specifically for the needs of drum set players. This new line of USA made drums has been introduced under its own name brand as Dynamicx Drums USA. For our review we received 3 snare drums.

Zildjian 22" Swish Knocker review
I first heard a Zildjian swish knocker years ago on a Buddy Rich album. Around the same time I saw Buddy playing a 24” swish knocker with his big band. Simon Phillips used a 24” when I saw him with Toto. The 24” is not in production at the moment. I owned a 20” swish at one point. I remember playing it in a big band, riding lightly behind muted trumpets. That is a glorious and effervescent sound.
