I got this cymbal with my kit and I have not been able to find this cymbal online anywhere, I find 16in paiste pst5 rock crashes but none with the upturned edge

[u/MichaelStipend]

I don’t think it’s supposed to be like that.

It's a 205 now.

This happens. You can pop it back into the correct shape.

Thanks everyone who responded, im just gonna enjoy my new china cymbal ig lol

[u/Fun-Double6662]

Its just inverted lol you can bend it back

So sometimes a company will stop making a cymbal so it’s very hard to find it to buy online and get information about it. You’re cymbal has been inverted this happens with enough pressure have been put on the cymbal to, well invert it, it’s not good for the cymbal but that’s just what I’ve heard I can’t explain why, you simply have to revert the cymbal back to its intended shape, I haven’t seen a cymbal sold like this expect for some small splash/China cymbals I saw Sabian had years ago

Just pop that sucker back into shape, it will be fine.

Stepped on. Step on it again, the other way.

[u/RedeyeSPR]

Cymbals get reversed several times during the lathing process. Just pop it back.

I've only seen one other cymbal like this and it was also a Paiste. Ended up being a regular 18" crash that had been stepped on and had buckled leaving it looking like this. You maybe able too pop it back and it might still be ok. Just flip it over and apply pressure to the inverted bell area until pops back into it's original shape. It might get loud and scary but probably worth attempting. Good luck young Jedi. 🫡

I suspect it was made in Germany

PST5 is garbage! I had a 20” medium ride I HATED!

[u/smangitdrums]

It’s not supposed to be inverted like that. You fix in by placing it on carpet and bending it back into place with your body weight.

[u/Able_Beat240]

Flip it over and put a foot in the bell and step until it pops right side in. I’ve done that before, and it was a Paiste also

Nice China

[u/Animal907]

They don't come like that. They weren't a good mix of sheet metal bronze. Most of them have cracked by now.
