Zildjian FX Raw Crash w/Large Bell

The Raw Crash is a cymbal like no other - unrefined and completely unique. Vetted in the Zildjian Concept Shop and now available worldwide, FX Raw Crashes are the most unrefined and funky Zildjian cymbals ever produced! 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. 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.

Unleash an unrefined sound.
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 large bell Raw Crash opens up very quickly with an explosive crash, but is dry enough that it shuts down and gets out of the way very quickly. Its explosive attack and fast decay make it perfect for both loud and delicate musical situations.

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. These are purely visual features that occur naturally in the process, and dont affect sound or longevity in any way.
