Unlathed, Raw Surface Provides Distinctive Tone

The Classics Custom Dark Trash China has an unlathed, raw surface that gives it a dark, complex voice. Its gritty, trashy tone is perfect for accents, crescendos and dramatic breaks. The raw, unrefined finish also means that no two Classics Custom Dark Trash Chinas are exactly alike, providing drummers with a highly unique sounding cymbal.

Short, Abrupt Decay Cuts Through Dense Mixes

With its short, abrupt decay, the Classics Custom Dark Trash China is ideally suited for cutting through dense mixes. Its quick decay provides the trashy "splash" drummers want from a china cymbal without overpowering the mix. The Classics Custom Dark Trash China can create dramatic breaks or punctuate crescendos without muddying up the overall sound.

Ideal for All Genres

Its distinctive voice and short decay allow it to make an impact without overpowering acoustic genres like folk or bluegrass. For rock, metal and fusion, this cymbal cuts through loud, distorted guitars. Electronic and hip hop drummers will appreciate its ability to provide an organic, trashy accent. With the Classics Custom Dark Trash China, Meinl has created a highly versatile cymbal.
