Questions & Answers

That's what I thought it would be. Do you mind if I be bent over all the time? Is that how yours ?

I agree, and that's exactly what we're trying to accomplish. Stacking it is the only way to fix it

Is it supposed to be bent? I noticed it was bent one last time. ?

The fact that they are all bent is what gives them their trashy

If you're a beginners to drumming, would you recommend this to you? I've heard you shouldn't use splash and certain cymbals because beginners don't have much experience in that?

There is no point in worrying about it If you tell a drummer who likes The Police that he can't have a splash, he'll be upset. 3) There are no set "rules" when learning to play drums splashes and chinas are commonly used as accent In most cases, they are added based on the music style and the artist's personal preferences. It looks a bit funky and is quite thin, but it sounds horribly trashy and has a decent amount of While I haven't used it as a stack, I've found that it works very well as a splash. Additionally, it comes at a good price. A hard-hitting player will definitely have limited durability.

Selected User Reviews For Zildjian 8" FX Trashformer Cymbal

This little cymbal, which is so cheap and crappy, is my favorite
4/5

Putting this cymbal into comparison with other cymbals that do the same thing, it is incredibly expensive as well because of the quality of its performance. To say the least, you can add some 'trashy' articulation to a kit, whether as a standalone item or as Cymbals are good for a variety of things, but they are not good for these things Using this method would not be like a splash/crash/china, since it is meant to come warped (more on that in a moment). When used for playing accents, the trashformer is best used as an effect cymbal. It is preferred to use the eight" and ten" models for standalone articulation, but I bought the 14", which I like to stack for accents and to create As a standalone cymbal, the 14" can be a bit loud and washy. On the other hand, when playing my 18" Oriental China Trash upright, the trashformer performs beautifully as a stacker for providing just enough decay but not completely ruining the China. Because the warped design does not generate a vacuum, this can be accomplished. Having tried various configurations, I have decided that playing this cymbal upright and underneath another cymbal is its best option (as opposed to playing it upside down). It's a miss for Zildjian to introduce the new FX line, which I think overall is flawed. Spiral stackers also accomplish this rather well, and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to try a 12" spiral on top of my 14".

It's a trashformer
4/5

bought this book somewhat on a whim, so I didn't really expect much from it. When that is set on top of another cymbal, it makes for a dynamic. When played on its own, it sounds pretty much like what it looks like. While it looks like a warped and bashed up cymbal, it definitely offers a unique sound for a bargain price. FYI, it is thin, although it could be mistaken for one in the pictures. By bending the cymbal, you can easily achieve the desired effect. It's not the color I'm disappointed in, it's the way it is made. Amazon pictures did not match what it actually looked like. Almost all the symbol looks like is a regular copper color, with a faint purple tint in a few not the full blue color shown in the photo (I placed a photo of the one I received in the above section).

I recommend this cymbal to anyone who wants a great splash efx at a good price
5/5

Considering the pitch is 8 in, I expected it to be a bit higher pitched, but it turns out to be a bit darker than I thought (in I imagine it to be like a little piece of china. I've heard demos on Youtube that don't quite sound like that, but it is a nice addition to my music collection. In my practice, I stack it with a 10 in splash to get a bit of trashy sound without any The waves are very wavy, but my band mates and audience members ask about it frequently. You can't go wrong with this for the price!.

The perfect stacking container
5/5

Wow! I am so impressed with your work! In a little mini stack, I put it on top of a Sabian B8 splash. You've got a great idea.

I've come across this in a cymbal stack before and ended up enjoying the sound, but I find it really great on its own as well
5/5

The sound is that of a fast crash from China. A real treat for rock or heavy, but I also had the pleasure of playing in a slow jam session.

The splash was awesome
5/5

I like what you said! It doesn't matter if it's a different color, but I'd liked to have it in an odd color. Exactly what I was looking for!.

There's no blue to it
3/5

Here's the warning I don't think it's as colored as the picture implies. As a result, it looks like a normal cymbal except with darker hues. This is very.
