Zildjian S Trash 16" Crash Cymbal
The S Trash Crash 16" is a thin effects crash that adds trashy white noise to the accent, like distortion applied to a crash. It gives a kit a dirty, modern sound that still blends into the mix.
What sets it apart
- Trashy white noise that distorts the crash
- Thin-weight crash tone
- Blends into the mix
- Light and loose under the stick
Distortion for your crash
A trash crash is a crash with a deliberately dirty grain added. Zildjian speaks of white noise grafted onto the crash tone, like a distortion pedal for cymbals. The accent stays short and rough, and Zildjian notes that it blends into the mix.
A lively, short profile
On the Sound Lab, the 16" rates 8 for brightness, 3 for dryness, 7 for definition and 4 for sustain. It is a lively, short cymbal: the effect is heard, then makes room. Handy for punctuating without weighing down the sound of the kit.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a trash crash cymbal?
- A thin crash with a deliberately dirty sound. At Zildjian, the S Trash Crash adds white noise to the crash tone: the effect of distortion, on a cymbal.
- Trash crash or regular crash?
- A regular crash gives a clean, musical burst. A trash crash adds grit and shortens the accent. Many kits keep a classic crash and add a trash for the rougher moments.
- Crash, ride, splash: where does a trash crash fit?
- With the crashes: you strike it for an accent, not for a pattern. Larger than a splash and dirtier than a crash, it fills a gap between those two colours.
