Trash-style effect cymbal
Sound is deliberately dirty and unmusical, with fast decay. It's an accent voice, not a general-purpose crash.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 14-inch trash-effect cymbal with a raw, short, dirty sound. For drummers who want an accent that cuts and stops fast.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Punctuating a fill or transition with a short, dirty crash
- Stacking on top of a crash or hi-hat for a tighter voice
- Rock, metal and punk where a clean crash sounds too polite
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting a sustaining, musical crash for ride or wash duty
- Quiet acoustic or jazz settings where a trash accent is disruptive
- Anyone needing a matched cymbal that blends with a clean setup

Detail 02
14 inch
Small enough to respond instantly and die quickly. Bigger trash cymbals hold longer; this one is a quick stab.

Final check
Know before you order

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does a trash cymbal actually sound like?
Short, raw and dirty, with a fast decay and little sustain. It sits between a crash and a china in character, used as a sharp accent rather than a wash.
02Can I stack this with another cymbal?
Yes. Trash cymbals are commonly stacked on a crash or hi-hat to produce a tighter, choked sound. You'll need a stacker mount or a felt-free stand setup.
03Is 14 inches too small?
For an effect cymbal, 14 inches is a common size. It responds fast and cuts off quickly, which is the point. Larger trash cymbals sustain longer.
04Does it come with a stand?
No. You'll need a cymbal stand, stacker arm or clamp to mount it.
