When you're a company as radical as Meinl Cymbals, a push toward the traditional can be a refreshing twist. So it is with the Meinl Pure Alloy 18-inch Trash China. Like other cymbals in the Pure Alloy series, the Trash China has a fully lathed playing surface. Meinl sets it apart from the rest of the line by punching five massive holes in it. This gives it a furious, full-sized China attack followed by a quick decay. True to the name, the Trash China has an extremely trashy bite that effortlessly rises above distorted guitar riffs. For bold accents and band-beating volume, add the Meinl 18-inch Pure Alloy Trash China to your kit.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Traditional, fully lathed surface





Fully lathed surfaces are a big departure from the raw, earthy cymbals Meinl is best known for today. Next, they punch extra holes in body of the cymbal to reduce the amount of sustain. This process gives the Meinl Pure Alloy Trash China a cutting attack that quickly dissipates.





Crafted by drummers for drummers





Meinl's cymbal innovation stems from both a deep love for the craft and a desire to provide drummers with the sounds they're buzzing about. Whether you're into the traditional Pure Alloy series or the modern-dry Byzance line, Sweetwater is confident that Meinl Cymbals has the sound you're after.
