Pre-Owned - Rogers 22" Ride Cymbal – Made in Germany, Paiste-Era OEM

Large-format 22" ride from the Rogers-branded Made in Germany era—very likely OEM-built by Paiste at the Alsdorf plant (CuSn8/B8 bronze, machine-lathed). Expect clear stick definition on the bow, a present bell for timekeeping, and a controlled wash that stays musical in rock, pop, blues, and worship settings. Big ROGERS logos on both sides; underside ink reads “MADE IN GERMANY.”

Why Drummers Like It

A wallet-friendly, vintage-flavoured 22" ride with reliable time, a usable bell, and a wash that’s easy to manage in smaller rooms. Pairs well with typical 14" hats and 16–18" crashes, and makes a solid main ride or dependable spare.
