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

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.
