MEINLClassics Custom Dark Trash Crash Cymbal 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
At 14 inches, this Dark Trash Crash is a quick-hit crash voice for accents, fills, solos, and transitions. Its explosive attack gives the initial strike presence, followed by an extremely fast decay that avoids leaving a long crash layer behind. The sound is described as dark and complex, with a trashy roar plus clarity and cut. It can stand alone as an effects cymbal or join crashes and splashes for layered textures.
Strong match
Who this is for
