Mounted either way up they are distinctive, potentially musical and attention grabbing. The bigger 12" one has a more Oriental flavour, the smaller one recalls the fabled dinner bell.

These Orientals work well as stackers too. Mounted upside down on top of a ride or crash gives you another sound palette. They don't interfere too much with the sound of the ride or crash, but when you strike the Oriental it produces its range of tones but offset, amplified, invigorated and enlarged by the sound of the crash or ride too… like early Bill Stewart.

Mounted the 'right' way up on top of a cymbal it does now interfere more with the sound, but creates a kind of hybrid. You lose the bell of the bigger cymbal while the bell on the Oriental is now pretty useless - a dead tink. But you still get an interesting compound sound, though flatter and thicker toned."

 '''Zildjian's Description:''' [[Zildjian China Trash#Zildjian FX|<<< - >>>]]<br>
-'''Review:'''  <br>
+'''Review:''' "The 10" and 12" Oriental China Trashes are versatile, with at least three distinct sounds - a tanking rounded short 'doink' of a bell, a clean central stick-tip 'ting', and a sharp trashy edge crash.
