Review: "The 13" Oriental China Trash reacts almost as swiftly as the Trashformers. It is fairly high-pitched and this combines with its natural attack to aggressive effect, ideal for sudden, stabbing accents. The 15" model's larger diameter brings some extra maturity to its note, making it deeper and smoother sounding. For a 15" cymbal it's exceptionally fast and capable of serious volume."

Review: "Oriental China Trashes make up Zildjian's most popular China series, so the company decided to offer some smaller odd sizes. The 13" ($286) sounded more like an effects cymbal than a standard China, but it still created a desirably trashy tone. Its smaller size makes it another great choice for stacking. In fact, I stacked the 8" Trashformer inside the 13" Oriental and got a gnarly-sounding, fast, gated effect. On its own, the 13" China Trash had a high pitch with a slightly stiff attack. In compari- son with Zildjian's full lineup of Oriental Chinas, the 13" was more one-dimensional than most of the other sizes but was still a pleasure to experiment with.
The 15" Oriental China Trash ($329) had more body than the 13", with a deeper "caaaa" sound and some nice throatiness. It was slightly more controlled than the bigger sizes, but it maintained a standard China sound with a pleasant brashness. "There's just enough body that it gets heard but doesn't hang on too long to get in the way," Francis says."
