Review: "The 20” FX Crash of Doom has been in and out of Zildjian’s catalog several times over the past couple of decades, but has always returned due to popular demand. For 2019, Zildjian added a 22” model of the CoD to the FX collection as a standard option rather than a limited special.
Like the 20”, the 22” model sports a low profile, a small bell, and a bow that’s slightly warped in some spots. The result is a thunderous, trashy, warbling crash that feels perfectly at home alongside the dry, sample-heavy sounds of modern music. It’s deep and fiery with a dry wash that doesn’t swallow up too much around it.
Like the Cluster Crashes, it performs best in medium to low-volume settings where its complexity won’t be lost to the surrounding din. I also found it to be a really enjoyable secondary ride that speaks with more tah and tick under each stroke. It doesn’t have enough built in stick definition to work as a main ride at anything above a low volume, but it does great as a pulsing sort of mellow crash ride.
To me, the Crash of Doom is such a uniquely identifiable instrument that’s so expressive. I think it would fit well on any drum set where exploration and character are paramount. It’s just a really, really fun instrument."
