An 8" effects cymbal with a distinctive colored tint, delivering a sharp, trashy sound for explosive accents and stacking.

Break the mold with the Zildjian FX Trashformer Cymbal 8", an audacious effects cymbal designed to inject raw, trashy energy into your drumming. Developed with input from Dream Theater’s Mike Mangini, this cymbal’s warped, unlathed design and unique colored tint (varying in hues of orange, pink, purple, or blue) produce a gritty, metallic voice that’s perfect for punk, metal, and experimental genres.

Play it solo for a quick, china-like splash or stack it beneath another cymbal for a signature white-noise effect that cuts through any mix. Its thin weight and uneven bow edge ensure a fast, articulate response, making the Trashformer a versatile tool for drummers looking to expand their sonic palette with a bold, unconventional sound.
