Between Crash, Ride, and Crazy Effects

The Zildjian 19" K Custom Hybrid Trash Smash is somewhere between a very small ride and an extremely trashy crash cymbal, packing a ton of utility into an unorthodox format. Sweetwater drummers just love this strange creation of jazz-fusion great Akira Jimbo, because you can add it to any kit and instantly expand the range of rhythms and textures you can create. Its thin weight and particularly unusual contouring give the K Custom Hybrid Trash Smash an extremely short sustain and cutting attack. You'll be amazed by what you can create with its singular sound.

Zildjian 19" K Custom Hybrid Trash Smash Cymbal Features:
  • An unusual effects crash/ride created by Akira Jimbo
  • Great for crashing and riding and accenting your rhythms
  • A mixture of lathing and finishing techniques provides greatly varying tone
  • Inverted bell and thin weight provide a crisp, fast sound that cuts through
  • Provides plenty of projection without overwhelming volume

Best Trash Crash on the market

The K Custom Hybrid 19" Trash Crash is in it's own world, for an effects crash is blends a a beautiful blend of shimmering decay but due to the amazing lathing and hannering it does give you just enough of the trash sound, but it sounds more of a traditional K Hybrid crash. So for that feature alone I can use it as a traditional 19" crash or play it to get a suble trash sound out of it. I also can ride it gently if I dont want to use my ride to get a loo little more tone with some nice shimmering tones. I've also rode the volcano bell and it sounds better than my K Dark ride. So if you want to add a little color to either your 19" crashes, ride or effects trash cymbals this one covers all the bases. I truly love this cymbal. Just remember it's a cross between a Trash cymbal, K Hybrid crash and ride, so de so depending on your skill sticking level this would be an absolute must on any kit. Plus it looks gorgeous just like all the Akira Jimbo Hybrids. I 100% recommended it to sophisticated drummers who know how to play. I play pop. Rock, metal, reggae and array of covers and this cymbal can be used for all those genres of music.
Music background: Drummer, professional

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or ZBT pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
