The Korena take

Built around a 16-inch format, this HCS Trash Crash combines the character described as between a China and a dark crash. Its cutouts bring the trashy response forward, while the substantial thickness, grooves, and hammer marks keep the sound defined rather than overly clangy. The quick sustain makes it useful when you want an accent to arrive clearly and move out of the way—on its own, in a stack, or through heavier fills.
