How To Prevent Your Cymbals From Cracking

Description
The Zildjian 20" Oriental Crash of Doom is a truly one of a kind cymbal. Crafted at Zildjian's cymbal foundry to recreate a special sound that drummer Dennis Chambers fell in love with on tour, this crash blurs the lines between an effects cymbal and a traditional crash. With its flat profile, wavy edge and irregular lathing, the Oriental Crash of Doom produces tones unlike anything Zildjian has made before. The 20" Oriental Crash of Doom is thick, dark and trashy—perfect for drummers looking to make a dramatic statement.
Thick, Dark Tones for a Huge Wash
The Oriental Crash of Doom produces thick, dark tones with an immediate, explosive attack and tremendous broad sustain. Its low pitch and full-bodied wash are perfect for creating drama and filling space. The large 20" size gives drummers a big, powerful crash for a commanding accent in your setup.
A Cymbal Like No Other
Truly one of a kind, the 20" Oriental Crash of Doom is an exceptionally unique cymbal for adding special accents and effects. Its immense, full-bodied sound was crafted to recreate a cymbal that Dennis Chambers fell in love with on tour, and it delivers tones unlike anything in Zildjian's traditional lines. For drummers looking to make a statement, the Oriental Crash of Doom is a dark, dramatic monster of a cymbal.
Suggested Musical Applications
With its big, trashy and funky sound, the 20" Oriental Crash of Doom suits many musical styles. Use it to accentuate rock, metal, alternative, pop, country, funk, R&B and Latin music. This dramatic crash is also ideal for drummers looking to create special effects and fill space with an ultra trashy, low pitched wash.

I recently purchased this amazing cymbal online without hearing it first. Which can make most people hesitant. I can assure anyone this is the cymbal for any style of music. I use it for the rock/metal stuff and it cuts through perfectly. But this cymbal sits perfect as a main ride for the jazz sessions. Excellent tone and stick definition. Not over washy and perfect for accents as well.
Could be the best Crash or a solid left side Ride

This is a perfect cymbal. Just how I like my cymbals to sound...Dark, Complex, ABSOLUTELY FILTHY, low pitched. And although it is a trashy cymbal its not the hash/abrasive sound that a china cymbal has. Its more of a subdued trashy growl. BEAUTIFUL! Great as a ride to.
