This Pure Alloy Trash Crash is a seriously cool, specialized cymbal. It’s built for modern, experimental music, industrial, or anyone needing a sharp, trashy accent with almost no sustain. If you want a traditional wash, look elsewhere, but if you need that aggressive, percussive ‘thwack,’ this is a winner.

Product Description

Meinl 20" Pure Alloy Custom Trash Cr, Trash Crash Cymbal, Size: 20", Fast attack with very short sustain, Finish: Smoke Bronze, Made in Germany

PROS
  • • Exceptional clarity and trashy articulation due to the B20 bronze alloy.
  • • Fast attack and short sustain offer unique rhythmic possibilities.
  • • Smoke bronze finish provides a darker, more vintage aesthetic.
  • • German craftsmanship ensures robust build quality and long-term durability.
CONS
  • • Limited versatility; excels in specific genres, not a general crash replacement.
  • • Higher price point reflects premium materials and German manufacturing.
  • • Sustain is very short, which won’t suit players seeking wash or shimmer.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Pure Alloy blend creates a more focused and immediate response, contributing to the faster attack and drier sound compared to more complex bronze alloys.
