| another great use for them is if you have a good set of soft mallets you can do a roll on the outhside edge and kinda get like a low gong sound out of them which is really cool in some music.
I have 12" zildjian china trash and 18" zildjian Z custom.
The custom dosnt have as much of a trashy sound to it and it is really nice to just throw into some music.
I have also seen some people start using them as hi hats, and some marching bands use them as hand cymbals |
