Review: "Dennis Chambers came to the Zildjian folks a few years ago with the idea for this exotic cymbal design. What emerged was the most recent addition to the Zildjian Sound Effects range, which includes the Azuka, Re-Mix, Zil-Bel, EFX, and Oriental lines. The 20" cymbal is given a special hammering, followed by a lathing process that removes mass. This gives the cymbal unique flexibility.
In a nutshell, the Crash Of Doom is amazing! It's low in pitch and high in rewards. Just touch it, and it responds with very trashy and dark undertones. Hit it with the tip of the stick, and you get heat. Hit it with the shoulder, and you get fire. Play the bell, and the furnace burns beneath you. Mallet response is also great: The sound builds from a low moan to a full roar, with loads of control. As you play louder, the fun really starts. The low tones continue, and the highs kick in. It takes a while to hit the ceiling.
Because the Crash Of Doom is a thin cymbal, stick response for riding is not too good. But you might want to coax it anyway, because in the right situation—like a low-volume jazz setting or some avant-garde gig—it can offer an absolutely unique character. In fact, this cymbal actually fuels one's creativity. No wonder it got a Gear Of The Year award from MD in the December 2000 issue!"
