Overview

A trash crash cymbal with dark, gritty tones and quick response.

Built for drummers who want a crash that cuts through the mix with attitude, the Zildjian S Dark Trash Crash brings raw, trashy character to any kit. Its thin, lightweight profile responds instantly under the stick, exploding into noisy textures, sharp accents and quick bursts of white-noise grit. Thanks to its lower pitch and short sustain, it lands with force and then gets out of the way, making it ideal for modern players who need aggressive punctuation in live or studio settings.

Random Hammering Shapes Its Trashy, Unpredictable Voice

Zildjian gives this crash its distinct personality through scattered, random hammering across the surface. Each strike breaks up smooth overtones and creates a chaotic spread of frequencies that shift depending on where you hit. Combined with the cymbal’s flexible body, the result is a fast, explosive crash that reacts to touch, delivering everything from dirty slashes to warped, distorted accents that sit differently from traditional crashes.

Designed for Creative Stacks and Controlled Chaos

The S Dark Trash Crash excels as a standalone effects voice or as part of a layered stack, where its quick decay and dark tone add punch without overwhelming the groove. Its tough Zildjian alloy construction holds up under heavy hitting, making it a reliable choice for drummers who push their cymbals hard. Whether you’re shaping transitions, adding grit to breakdowns or building a custom stack, the S Dark Trash Crash cymbal brings a bold, modern edge that elevates any setup.
