What kind of sound can I expect from the Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Trash Crash?

The Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Trash Crash delivers a uniquely dark, extra dry, and low-pitched sound with a very short sustain.

The unique hammering and unlathed surface contribute to its raw, earthy character, while the holes enhance its speed, heat, and decay, resulting in a highly articulate sound that offers plenty of dynamic range and musical expression.

What musical styles or drumming applications is the Byzance Extra Dry Trash Crash best suited for?
