Description

The Zildjian K Custom Special Dry Trash Crash cymbal delivers a blast of earthy tones and textures. This responsive 17" crash cymbal is crafted extra thin to produce an abundance of harmonically rich overtones with a quick attack and fast decay. Remastered for today's modern drum styles, the K Custom Special Dry line provides a dry, funky sound with lots of dirt and personality.

Extra Thin Weight for Maximum Sonic Range

Weighing in at extra thin, this crash cymbal resonates with a wide range of tones from trashy to sublime. Its lightweight build allows the cymbal to vibrate freely, unleashing a burst of overtones with every strike. This highly responsive cymbal reacts to your playing with a sensitivity that inspires creativity.

Fast Attack and Decay for a Raw, Earthy Sound

The K Custom Special Dry Trash Crash delivers an instant attack with a quick decay, resulting in a short, punchy sustain. This fast action produces a raw, gritty tone with a hint of unrefined edge. The rapid decay helps the crash cymbal get out of the way quickly, allowing you to articulate your drum patterns with clarity and precision.

Infused with Musicality and Personality

Remastered with additional hammering and lathing techniques, the K Custom Special Dry Trash Crash is infused with enhanced musicality, warmth, and character. This artfully crafted cymbal provides a contemporary voice with vintage-style charm. Its distinctive dry and funky sound cuts through the mix, allowing your unique drumming personality to shine through.

    Totally versatile! So many sounds depending on where you play it and how hard you hit it. There is not bad thing to say about it. I checked out a bunch of other trash crashes, but I really liked the sound of this one! I'm over the moon about it.

    Before I first unboxed this cymbal I was skeptical. Upon my first look at the special dry crash I knew I did good. Very nice hammering,latheing, and overall quality was visible. Then I set it up and hit it...I was amazed to say the least.

  • Yes, definitely

    It's a personal thing, but this is exactly what I've been looking for. I bought a few other "trash crash" cymbals, but they weren't what I really wanted. This time I got it "just right" and love it.

  • 19" sounds good

    Solid sounding cymbal. Very sharp decay (dry), yet explosive crash. I use it in place of a china, kind of has a similar sound/feel without being overly aggressive for small venues.
