Zildjian 8 Inch FX Trashformer Cymbal - Explosive Effects and Signature Trash

The Zildjian 8 Inch FX Trashformer Cymbal delivers explosive effects sounds through innovative design and distinctive construction developed from the original 14-inch version designed with renowned drummer Mike Mangini. This specialized effects cymbal features a unique wavy curvature that creates funky, trashy sonic characteristics unavailable from traditional flat cymbals. The non-traditional shape combined with thin weight classification produces airy splash effects when played alone, while also functioning as a versatile stacking component that adds signature white noise layers when positioned above or below other cymbals in a drum setup.

The distinctive unique color tinting finish gives each Trashformer individual visual character, with color variations from cymbal to cymbal ensuring unique appearance. Manufactured in the United States, the eight-inch diameter provides compact size suitable for tight cymbal setups while delivering sufficient projection for both acoustic and amplified performance applications. The wavy profile creates unpredictable harmonic content and trashy overtones that add textural complexity to drum parts, making this cymbal particularly valuable for contemporary music styles requiring unconventional sound effects. Whether played alone as standalone splash for quick accents or stacked on another cymbal with crashes, rides, or hi-hats for modified tonal characteristics, the Trashformer expands sonic possibilities beyond traditional cymbal voices. The versatile design enables creative sound exploration for drummers seeking to enhance their setup with funky effects that stand out in musical arrangements, drawing on the innovative concepts from the original Mike Mangini collaboration.
