Zildjian FX Raw Crash Cymbal - Large Bell - Product Information
The Zildjian FX Raw Crash Cymbal is not hammered or lathed, which gives each a highly irregular profile and an unrefined surface. They are also not trimmed into a perfect circle, resulting in odd shapes, sizes (max 24" in diameter), and a naturally coarse edge. Altogether, these variations in profile, shape, size and edge consistency are what create the wildly individual sounds from one crash to the next that make these cymbals so special.
Each Raw Crash features streaks, splotches and swirls of varying colors. These are created when the hot metal is tempered, and over time continues to develop. Some Raw Crashes may show stretch marks from rolling, tool marks and scratches from moving the hot blanks, chalk marks indicating cup location and oven number, and other telltale signs of their journey through the foundry. These are purely visual features that occur naturally in the process, and don't affect sound or longevity in any way.
