Keith,

Thanks for your reply. 

The Cymbals are brand spanking new, I got them Saturday morning and
played them Sunday. I had experienced the same choking problem with
PCY65S and I bought the 130's hoping they were "better". They do look
better :-). 

Regardless, I figured out how to replicate the problem for the most
part. If I hit the cymbal right on the line, I can get it to self
choke over and over. But it can also happen anywhere on the cymbal
(from the cup down to the line). 

I hate to say it, but having to "work" the Cymbal kind of defeats the
purpose of being a multizone thing. If I hit the Cymbal across, from
the edge to the cup, sometimes I get a nice full sound, but other
times I get that party pooping Crashzip!

I will try to work on the positioning of the Cymbal itself.
