Buying Guide

  • 1Inspect for hairline cracks, especially around the bell and the edge. Cracks only get worse and are not repairable.
  • 2Hit the cymbal and let it ring — listen for any buzzing or rattling that indicates a hidden crack.
  • 3Keyholing (the center hole becoming oval-shaped) weakens the cymbal. Check the hole shape carefully.
