mishapen cymbals


Hi folks,killerbee here,just recieved my Zildjian A custom cymbal pack and am overjoyed because I didn't know what to expect,but am very impressed at the sound! Only issue is the 18" standard crash appears to be "out of shape",unlike the others. it appears to be perfectly round,the hole is dead center of the bell,but I constantly have to re-position it after every few strikes.I changed out the felts,checked my boom stand for any defects where the cymbal rests,etc.the sound is incredible,but it always ends up resting in an awkward position and I have not experienced this in 40 years of playing.Is my new crash a dud?is the bell out of shape or unevenly weighted?I'm not sure I would have noticed this even if I had hand selected them.I leave the wing nut very loose,to give the cymbal plenty of "room'to move.this is not any more than a petty annoyance but I'm concerned that I may have gotten a poorly cast cymbal.any advice would be welcomed!

I guess send it back, my current ride is like that and I have it tilted and sometimes its almost flat, though If you can deal with it, more power to you.
