They're toast.

Is there any info that I can get off the net for him to "lay on the insurance people" to convince them that there toast?

the sound actually changed?

Have them listen good cymbals and toast cymbals.

The extreme heat does indeed impact them. I moved from the UP of MI down to Miami once and the company stored the cymbals in a ridiculously hot environ with quite a bit of mass on top of them. They came out discolored from the wrapping material. It was an extended period of time. I had video of the before and the after. They were two very very different sounds. I was endorsing Sabian at the time and kept very complete records of the precise sounds. The insurance company made good on it, but I was out some very nice custom cymbals due to the extreme heat and pressure of the heavy items placed on top of them. To some, it might have been a minor change. To me, it was devastating.

Just tell them this:

Roast cymbals are,

Toast cymbals like,

No cymbals you know...

Then they should write you out a check on the spot.

OMG!!! Laughing H Jumping2

We just need an Ethel Merman cover band to sing that for them, and they'll write a check for double the value just to get you outta there............DOH

I m hearing that tune in my head now and Ethel Merman is singing it. Thanks
