Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
MEINL’s 18-inch HCS Trash Crash combines elements of a China cymbal and a dark crash in a cymbal made for short, trashy punctuation. The hole cutouts create its trashy character, and its quick sustain keeps accents, heavy fills and stacked sounds from lingering. Made in Germany from MS63 brass alloy, it has wide blade lathing, surface grooves and hammer marks. Those details contribute to a defined response without clangy or ear-piercing overtones.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding short trashy accents during fills, transitions and heavier drum parts.
- Building stacked cymbal sounds that do not hang over the next phrase.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a cymbal with long sustain; this model is described with quick sustain.
