Overview
A new type of effects cymbal with a distinctive colored tint and an equally trashy voice. It's lathed and finished with a process that creates a wide spectrum of color for unique visual and sonic effects. Please note: colors may vary from cymbal to cymbal.
While it's explosive and capable of standing on its own, it's perfect for stacking on other cymbals for a signature trashy sound. Stack it on another cymbal for a signature trashy sound.
Mike Mangini assisted Zildjian in the birth of this trashy special effects cymbal that stands alone or sizzles piggybacked on another cymbal. Like Mike, it's like nothing you've ever seen before. Its sound is as outrageous as his personality. Well...almost.

To be honest, I stumbled across this cymbal when I was fourteen and wanted to get as many cymbals on my kit as humanly possible. I saw that it was remarkably cheap for a Zildjian cymbal and bought it on a whim. At first, I didn't care for the little disgusting-looking cymbal that arrived in the mail, but as soon as I got used to it, I began writing drum parts centered entirely around it. It makes for incredible accents to any part and if you're playing with a band that's particularly heavy or sludgy sounding, this brash and deceptively powerful cymbal cuts right through those droning rhythm guitar parts. It is a cheap, but incredibly effective addition to any set where a little bit of trash never hurt anyone.

Let's Face it, the Zildjian ZXT Trashformer cymbal is amazing! but look at it's shape... If you're planning on bringing it anywhere- Well, Forget it because hairline cracks will form on the cymbal. It's deformed shape gives it amazing and stellar sounds but man it dies way too easily. On my way to the studio i brang this thing in a cymbal bag and as soon as i got there it was cracked. I fullfilled the warranty once, and it broke again over the course of 2 years and Zildjian wont replace it. They've lost my buisiness.. This cymbal is too much of a gamble to buy- I guess if you buy it, plan on using it as an accent (which the 14" is not made to do)...

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
I got this cymbal for christmas two years ago, and I have been loving every minute that I have owned it. It has a trashy, china/splash shound with a trashy ring. Makes a great second crash cymbal. Be careful, because of it's design, It can become deformed and crack. Mine has yet to do that though.

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
well i had this cymbal for about a month before it cracked in two places...i would go easy on it if u get this cymbal...i used it as a accent thing not stacking it on another cymbal like its sorta meant to do but im takin it back (if i ever get arounf to it) for a free replacement
Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
I bought this cymbal to spice up my kit because I didn't have the $$$ for an A Custom China. It is trashy, that's a fact. Once I got the China, I needed to do something with this odd little cymbal. First, I installed 4 rivets...WOW! I then ran a Scotch-Brite pad across the top in a pattern that matches the old Z Custom... Everyone comments on my cymbal set-up...not all the A and A Customs but this little ZXT with the rivets!!! With a little creativity and a few dollars, you can really make something unique. This whole thing cost me 80 odd dollars and one can't even by the box for an A Custom for $80!!! Just remember, this little wonder is paper-thin, so take it easy all you heavy hitters!
Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
I picked up the 8" version as soon as it came out.Its meant 2 produce a trash can effect that can b used on its own or stacked over or under another cymbal 4 some intersting fx--that it does!! I have it inverted on top of a 14" crash & I have a whole new sound texture in my kit 2 create with--and best of all-ITS CHEAP!! Check it out

Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
Amazing trash, good for the price. It's a really weird sound at first, honestly. But you'll get used to it. Like I said, amazing. It's just too quiet sometimes compared to my 16" A Custom Crash since they're right next to each other. Go trash!
Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
I bought this cymbal about two or three months ago and i think it is amazing. It adds a great sound to you kit, it can be used for quick fills or in a solo, it works great for anything really. I would reccomend this cymbal to anyone who is wishing to expand their kit for a cheap price and an amazing sound.
Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
i picked this cool looking cymbal because i looking for a effect/accent sounding cymbal for a really low price. I expected a china sound but i got a different sound that i've grown to like. despite its size it cuts through nicely but doesn't hold its sound for that long.. in other words it doesn't resonate i guess. i recommend this cymbal to anyone who wants to add a unique sound for a good price.
Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
Love it
Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
I have it stacked under a 16 inch s trash crash, and the two combined are quickly replacing my k custom hybrid china. It's nice being able to get a washy/trashy sound that doesn't have any sustain. It sounds good as well with most of my crashes and splashes, I wouldn't recommend buying this if you aren't planning on stacking it.
Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
A way to add fun variety and a different sound to any kit. Buy it now!
Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
I got this cymbal as an Easter gift from my parents. At first I only used it as a solo splash cymbal, by its self the sound is totally gone within a second. But when put on top of something it sounds pretty awesome. I put it on top of my Sabian B8 Crash Ride because that cymbal is so dull and boring but when I put the Trashformer on it, it totally changed my mind. This cymbal is great as an effects cymbals as a topper. Don't buy this unless you plan on putting it on top of another cymbal.
Comments about Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal:
This cymbol is good. The sound is great but it is of course it is bent which will look a little weird at first. DO NOT CLEAN THIS CYMBOL the awesome finish comes right off! Also, as soon as i got mine 10" it had about 4 lines from where it was bent, but the sound is great!
