Review: "The Trash-Smash is a strikingly atypical-looking cymbal - it's part lathed up to the inner 12cm, which is polished to a brilliant finish.
There are eight hammered and slightly raised 'spokes' radiating across the body and the bell has a central volcano-like crater. The cymbal is thin in weight and hand hammered all over, leaving small pin-hammer pockmarks.
Halfway between a fast crash and a china it gives you a good dollop of both. A full-blown crash on the edge is swift-reacting with a short decay - a cheeky peak which is followed by a shimmering, trashy tail-off. Being quite a thin cymbal it reacts instantaneously and makes for a startling, fruity interjection.
To be clear, you get a fast pithy crash with a trashy vibe, but not as trashy or hard-edged as with a normal china. And when you leather it with the flat of the stick on the body there is an impressive amount of sound, a huge 'pang'.
You can also ride it the way many drummers ride chinas: by smashing it on the edge on quarter notes. Just be aware that it is fairly thin and you might need to be a little sparing/careful.
You won't get much joy playing on the bell or using the stick tip - so smash-crash it is. But this is a desirable and versatile cymbal we could see being handy in just about any musical situation and with any style of band. It's almost a new denomination."
