Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 18-inch MEINL HCS Trash China brings a dry, raspy China voice to a drum setup with a short, trashy sustain. Its special bell shape and perforated surface are central to that response: the holes let harmonics escape and keep the sustain minimal. Use it for sharp accents in blast beats and breakdowns, then bring it into crescendos, fills or a cymbal stack when a more abrasive punctuation is wanted. It is made in Germany and belongs to the HCS line.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marking blast beats, breakdowns and fills with short, dry trashy accents.
- Adding a perforated China sound to cymbal stacks and crashing crescendos.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking long sustain; the cymbal is described with minimal, short sustain.
