Zildjian plastic bags - a bad batch?

[Morrisman]

My local drum shop told me last month that the reason I had to wait so long for some cymbals I had ordered was that a bad batch of the new gold coloured bags that the cymbals are packed in had chemically discoloured or corroded a whole shipment of cymbals, which had to be returned to the US for replacement. A bit like the Gator case glue issue a few years ago.

Has anyone else heard of this?

This is the first I have heard about this. Since the "local" drum shop closed a year ago, I am more out of the loop. Peace and goodwill.

That's kind of tragic. Gator cases at least serve a purpose; those plastic bags that cymbals come in are pretty pointless...
