Frequently Asked Questions

The Oriental China Trash is more focused and aggressive than the classic Trash China, with a shorter, more defined 'trash' sound and less wash.
While versatile, its explosive nature makes it less ideal for very quiet or subtle playing; it’s best suited for music that demands a more prominent, trashy accent.
The B20 bronze alloy contributes to a bright, complex tone with a good amount of projection, offering a more defined and articulate trashy sound than a lower bronze alloy might.
