The Korena take

The 16-inch Byzance Traditional Trash Crash uses a thin, fully lathed body and different-sized holes to create a trashy crash sound that falls away quickly. Its hand-hammered feel is described as soft and buttery, yet it has enough volume and cut for stronger accents. It suits drummers who want a crash response that makes its statement, then leaves room for the next phrase rather than sustaining for long.
