Zildjian FX China Trash 18" Effects China Cymbal
Zildjian FX China Trash 18" effects china: bright, very trashy and explosive, versatile enough to be the kit's only china.
The FX China Trash 18" is an effects china in a common size, bright and very trashy, that can hold the china role on a kit by itself. It gives an explosive, dirty accent without ringing on long enough to cover the music.
What sets it apart
- Bright, trashy china effect in a versatile size
- Explosive response, sharp attack
- Stand-alone effects voice or blended with other cymbals
- Sustain and definition of 6 out of 10 on the Sound Lab
The do-it-all effects china
Between the small 14" that snaps and the big 20" that spreads, the 18" finds the balance. According to Zildjian's Sound Lab, it sustains longer than a 14" (6 against 4) while staying lively. Zildjian points out that it can serve as an effects voice on its own or blend with the kit's other cymbals: it is often the only china on a stage kit.

Frequently asked questions
- Where do you hit a china cymbal?
- On the edge, with the shoulder of the stick, for the most explosive accent. Struck closer to the bell, it gives a tighter sound, useful for a pattern.
- Are china cymbals loud?
- Yes, it is their nature: a china is made to cut through. This model stays brief, though, with a quick decay, which limits the tail in rehearsal.
- Where should a china go on the kit?
- Often on the right, above or near the ride, or on the left above the hi-hat. What matters is being able to hit the edge without crossing your arms.
