Once the exotic, "trashy" sound effects from these FX splashes are drummed into your brain and your music, it’s hard not to imagine yourself playing them on a regular basis. These ultra thin cymbals in 9” and 11” sizes deliver short, sharp accents. It’s their unique sound and smaller size that helps them blend in perfectly with other splash cymbals while adding character and variety to your kit.

Great for adding special effects to just about any type of music, FX Oriental trash splash cymbals produce an unusually fast trash sound with a balanced attack, softer volume and a short sustain. The square bell adds to the cymbal’s special look.

What’s the secret to all this amazing sound? It lies in the bronze, copper and tin alloy that was formulated some 380 years ago by Avedis Zildjian, an Armenian alchemist who also happened to dabble in cymbal making. In 1618, he used his proprietary alloy to create superior sounding cymbals that boasted spectacular clarity and power. While the world has changed a lot since Avedis’ day, the way Zildjian makes these cymbals has not. Like the day of old, Zildjian FX Oriental trash splashes are still individually cast from that secret bronze alloy and given a brilliant finish. Custom hammering and lathing patterns accentuate the distinguished look and signature sound.

Zildjian FX series cymbals are played by some of the world’s best known drummers. Guys like John Mahon who plays with Sir Elton John, Phillip Fisher who drums for Justin Timberlake and Teddy Campbell of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno house band all count Zildjian FX Oriental trash splashes as part of their cymbal set-up.
