10" FX TRASHFORMER
Zildjian Drum Set Cymbals 101
14" FX TRASHFORMER
8" FX TRASHFORMER
Description
The Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal, an effects cymbal bred to be audaciously unapologetic. This 8" cymbal was initially rejected by Zildjian's quality control team for its warped profile and unusual patina, until Dream Theater drummer Mike Mangini discovered its delightfully disruptive sound. The Trashformer cymbal adds a splash of chaos to your kit with its trashy, metallic explosion of sound.
A Cymbal as Defiant as Your Playing
The ZXT Trashformer cymbal forges its own path with a finish that varies from cymbal to cymbal, creating a spectrum of color to match its broad range of tones. Its warped shape and raw, unlathed surface give each strike a snarling bite. Play it alone for a china-like accent or stack it on a crash cymbal for a burst of jagged, trashy energy to punctuate your playing. For drummers marching to the beat of their own drum, the Trashformer cymbal is the perfect companion.
Discover a Cymbal as Unconventional as Your Sound
Zildjian's quality control team initially dismissed the Trashformer cymbal for its eccentric qualities, but one playtest with Mangini revealed it to be a diamond in the rough. His enthusiastic reception of its unruly, gritty voice led Zildjian to embrace this rebel cymbal. The Trashformer cymbal is too unorthodox for most traditional cymbal lines but finds a natural home with experimental drummers crafting their own signature sound.
Short, Fiery Bursts of Metallic Energy
Weighing in at just 8", the Trashformer cymbal makes a big impression with its abrasive, trashy tone and quick, energetic bursts of sound. Its small size allows rapid, articulate playing, while its raw, unlathed surface and uneven profile give each strike a jagged, metallic bite. The Trashformer cymbal cuts through the mix with its piercing, trashy sound, ideal for punk, metal and grunge styles.
Discover Your Sound with the ZXT Trashformer
The Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal 8" invites drummers to forge their own path with an effects cymbal as unconventional as their sound. Initially discovered by Mike Mangini, this raw, unlathed cymbal produces quick, fiery explosions of trashy, metallic sound. Play it alone or stack it on another cymbal to add chaos to your kit. The Trashformer cymbal is ready to help you discover your sound.
