Within this family, the \"Trash\" models hold a special place: they are designed to provide a rawer and shorter color, highly sought after in contemporary music and studio-oriented setups, where each accent must be clear and controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Cymbal Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e20-inch Trash Crash\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want to enrich their kit with a characterful crash capable of stepping outside the \"classic\" framework. It excels in \u003cstrong\u003ealternative rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emodern metal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eelectro\u003c\/strong\u003e, and all styles where a dirtier, more textured accent is desired without endless sustain. Live, it helps mark transitions; in the studio, it sits easily without overloading the microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"Trash Crash\" concept aims for a faster response and shorter decay than a traditional crash, while maintaining the width and breadth of a \u003cstrong\u003e20-inch diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e. This type of cymbal is especially appreciated for creating \u003cstrong\u003eexplosive accents\u003c\/strong\u003e, effective \u003cstrong\u003echokes\u003c\/strong\u003e, and highly marked dynamic effects at both low and high velocity. Depending on the playing context, it can also serve as an effect crash to reinforce a chorus or as a sound design tool in more minimalist grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Trash Crash of this size generally produces a \u003cstrong\u003ewide and edgy\u003c\/strong\u003e sound, with a \"noisy\" component that adds granularity to the attack. The musical interest lies in the blend between a broad crash foundation (provided by the 20-inch size) and a \u003cstrong\u003erapid decay\u003c\/strong\u003e of sustain, resulting in a very \"modern\" accent that is easy to control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Byzance spirit, the handcrafted work favors a \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex\u003c\/strong\u003e cymbal: more nuances in the harmonics, sensitive response to light hits, and a character that evolves depending on the striking zone (edge for explosion, mid-zone for a crisper accent). The result: a crash that can be spectacular while remaining clear in a dense mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eTrash Crash\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003etrashy, textured, modern\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResponse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003efast\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eByzance\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eshort to moderate (controlled accent)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ehandcrafted, hand-worked\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eaccents, breaks, effect crash, chokes, studio and live\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54361159139603,"sku":"228157","price":545.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/d2171aa706806012e5cba3ee779afd9620e14230_MEINL_B20TRC.jpg?v=1792634437","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-crash-byzance-20-trash-228157","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
