Warranty
As of October 1, 2009, all Zildjian Cymbals are guaranteed against manufacturer's defects for two (2)
years from the date of original purchase. For warranty claims outside the U.S., contact your local Zildjian
distributor.
Warranty Process
Cymbals that show factory defects within two years of their original purchase are eligible for
examination at our factory. Zildjian experts will evaluate the damage and issue a replacement cymbal
unless it appears the damage is related to improper use or care.
If you believe your cymbal has a factory defect:
1. Contact Zildjian to obtain a Return Authorization number (RA#) via telephone: 781-871-2200.
2. Indicate the location of the damage on the cymbal with a piece of tape.
3. Make a photocopy of your original numbered and dated sales receipt.
4. Carefully package your cymbal. Include your RA# and the photocopy of your sales receipt in the box.
5. Ship the package to:
Avedis Zildjian Company
RA#
22 Longwater Drive
Norwell, MA 02061
A cymbal will not be replaced if:
1. It has been misplayed, dropped, played with excessive force or treated abusively.
2. The center hole is worn due to improper stand set-up or abusive play.
3. The cymbal was bought secondhand or used in a lease program.
4. The cymbal has previously been replaced by Zildjian.
5. More than two years have passed since the cymbal was purchased.
Warranty Notes:
• Cost of shipping a damaged cymbal to Zildjian is the customers responsibility.
• Factory evaluations take approximately 4–6 weeks.
• Cymbals that do not meet the warranty guidelines will be returned to the customer.
• Cost of shipping a replacement or damaged cymbal back to the customer will be covered by Zildjian.

This cymbal is dry, but complex. To me, it sounds as something in between a china and a crash. It could easily be used as a small ride for those "quiet as a mouse" jazz gigs or as a great accent on rock gigs.
What a Cymbal!!!!

Just got this masterpiece of craftsmanship and am looking forward to utilizing all of its dynamic, dry, and complex tones for all I can. Recording, live, and rehearsing (solo and with band). It fits perfectly into the sound spectrum I'm experimenting with these days. I new it was going to be good, when right out of the box I crashed it with my knuckle and heard the beauty. Set it up at my studio on my kit and it blew me away there too. Really liking the experimentation that's happening at Zildjian. Thanks for inspiration with this line.
Unsurprisingly fantastic cymbal

Playing and recording instrumental jazz-funk music, I need crashes that are dark and have a short decay. The 18" Special Dry Crash is the perfect size for this type of cymbal. It opens up quickly and shuts down smoothly, but quickly. It has a sound that falls between a China cymbal and a normal crash cymbal, combining the "white noise"/trashiness of the China with the full bodied sound of a K crash.

Is this good for being like a efx crash
It's good all around, not just because it's an EFX. Zildjian is probably the safest bet as far as cymbals go.
