Overview

Thrashy, dark-toned crashes that decay with the speed of a China cymbal.

The MEINL Classics Custom Dark trash crash cymbal gives you an explosive crash sound with a fast decay and trashy roar. This cymbal combines the full attack of a crash with the quick decay of a china for intense accents and layered crash effects during solos or transitions.

Dark, Complex Tones

Undergoing a special finishing process, the Dark trash crash cymbal has rich, brooding tones with clarity and cut. Widely spaced hammering and lathe lathing produce a warmer, more complex sound with an aggressive response. The dark, trashy sound cuts through the mix, giving your solos and accents an edgy quality that stands out.

Fast Decay for Quick Hits

With an extremely fast decay, the trash crash cymbal allows for quick hits and short bursts of sound. The 14", 16" and 18" sizes provide different levels of volume and spread so you can choose the trash crash that complements your regular dark crashes. Layer multiple trash crashes together for a full, roaring wall of sound that decays immediately after you finish your fill or solo.

Versatile and Responsive

The Classics Custom Dark trash crash is highly responsive, giving you expressive control over your dynamics and articulation. It has enough cut and volume to be heard clearly yet decays fast enough to avoid muddying up the mix. Place it close to other cymbals for tight, controlled crashes or farther away for a wider spread. The trash crash works well as an effects cymbal on its own or layered with traditional crashes and splashes for new sounds.
