This cymbal is one trashy, brutal crash. Very long sustain, very dark, very trashy. VERY good at cutting through mixes. Your overly masculine death metal guitarist friend that only wears band shirts turned into tank tops will wanna kill you if you play this next to where they're standing, that's what type of cymbal this is. It's the result of Zildjian making a hammered cymbal that's basically almost flat and wobbly all over the place. Don't mistake its flatness and bendiness as damage, it's this way by design. It's also no longer Oriental, just doomy.

If you want a high-volume crash cymbal that cuts and is way trashy, this is the one!
