Review: "Zildjian describes their new Oriental Trash crashes as being "the perfect hybrid of a China and a crash, with the shorter sustain and quick trashy attack of a China and the full-bodied sound of a crash." These cymbals are much more crash-like than China-sounding, but they do produce a pleasing sound. (Unusual for most Chinas, wouldn't you say?)
