The Korena take

The 16-inch Meinl HCS Trash China is an accent-focused China cymbal with a special bell profile and perforated bow. Those holes are used to create a dry, raspy, trashy voice with short sustain. It gives drum parts a brash edge for punctuation, including accents, blast beats, breakdowns, fill markers, and crescendos. It can also be stacked with other cymbals when you want more complex textures.
