Zildjian S Trash 18" Crash Cymbal
The S Trash Crash 18" is a large, thin effects crash with trashy white noise, slightly drier and longer than the 16". It suits drummers who want a rough accent with more breadth.
What sets it apart
- Trashy white noise on a broader crash
- Dryness rated 4 and sustain rated 5
- Thin weight, quick response
- Blends with the band without burying it
More breadth, same grit
On the Sound Lab, the 18" rates 8 for brightness, 4 for dryness, 7 for definition and 5 for sustain. Next to the 16", it gains a point of dryness and a point of sustain: the accent is wider and stays rough, with the same brightness.
Light and loose
Zildjian describes its trash crashes as light and loose. The 18" opens quickly despite its size and blends into the mix, so you can use it often without tiring the ear. It joins the 16" in the S Family, the only sizes offered for this model.

Frequently asked questions
- Trash crash or china?
- A china gives an exotic, aggressive snap. A trash crash is still a crash: a more familiar burst, roughened by white noise. Zildjian notes that it blends well into the mix.
- What cymbals should you buy after the essentials?
- Once hi-hats, a crash and a ride are in place, an effects cymbal changes the sound of the kit the most. An 18" trash crash adds a rough accent without calling for a new way of playing.
- S Trash Crash in 16" or 18"?
- The 18" is slightly drier (4 against 3) and longer (5 against 4), with the same brightness of 8. According to Zildjian, the larger cymbal also sounds louder and lower.
