Zap Crash 16″
The ZAPCRASH 16″ Trash Crash (B20) is designed as an accent-oriented “trash crash” cymbal, built with premium-grade B20 bronze and tuned for a sharp attack, aggressive character and quick decay rather than long sustain. The “Trash” label implies a cymbal that leans into a rougher edge, perhaps with cut-outs, irregular lathe/hammering or a raw/rough finish to give it a gritty, explosive sound—ideal for modern setups, effects layering or live kits where a controlled burst is needed rather than a shimmering wash.
