Description

Zildjian FX Raw Crash Cymbal with Small Bell

Vetted in the Zildjian Concept Shop and now available worldwide, FX Raw Crashes are the most unrefined and funky cymbals they have ever produced! These cymbals open up easily, producing beautiful dry crashes with great cut, then drop out of the mix, allowing punchy accents and clear stick patterns. The small bell version of the Raw Crash delivers a controlled and dry sound, with less pronounced overtones.

• Each sound sample includes 3 different Raw Crashes to emphasize the highly unique nature of this cymbalDry, unrefined and funky
• Untrimmed for unique, non-circular shape
• Varies in size between roughly 20-24-inches
• Explosive attack with quick decay
• Also works as an alternate rideUnleash an unrefined sound

Each Raw Crash starts from Zildjian’s secret alloy, but is not hammered, lathed or trimmed, creating a sound and look that’s unlike any other cymbal. A cymbal like no other. Raw crashes are 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-inches 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.

A completely individual look. Aesthetically, each Raw Crash will feature streaks, splotches, and swirls of varying colors. These are created when the hot metal is tempered, and over time, will continue 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 dont affect sound or longevity in any way.
