There are always a lot of A Zildjian crashes on the used market, but condition varies wildly. Many listings show cymbals with heavy stick wear, fingerprints, faded or missing logos, keyholing, flea bites, edge wear, or poor photos that make it difficult to evaluate what you’re actually buying. Be selective and compare carefully. This cymbal has been well cared for, accurately photographed, and honestly described. If you take the time to look around, I think you’ll see this is a very clean example offered at a fair price.

The cymbal will be packed carefully in a 24x24x4 inch cardboard box, wrapped inside a second cardboard box for additional protection in case the outer box is damaged during shipping. The inner box will also be sealed inside a plastic bag to protect against moisture if the package is left outside during delivery. A lot of care will go into making sure it arrives exactly as described.

A classic all-around crash cymbal that works well across rock, pop, funk, country, worship, and general-purpose playing.

Opens up easily, projects well without being harsh, and blends naturally in many styles of music. A classic “can’t miss” cymbal that sounds great in almost any setup and continues to be an excellent value for working drummers.
