The Zildjian ZXT Trashformer Cymbal, an effects cymbal bred to be audaciously unapologetic. This 8" cymbal was initially rejected by Zildjian's quality control team for its warped profile and unusual patina, until Dream Theater drummer Mike Mangini discovered its delightfully disruptive sound. The Trashformer cymbal adds a splash of chaos to your kit with its trashy, metallic explosion of sound.
A Cymbal as Defiant as Your Playing
The ZXT Trashformer cymbal forges its own path with a finish that varies from cymbal to cymbal, creating a spectrum of color to match its broad range of tones. Its warped shape and raw, unlathed surface give each strike a snarling bite. Play it alone for a china-like accent or stack it on a crash cymbal for a burst of jagged, trashy energy to punctuate your playing. For drummers marching to the beat of their own drum, the Trashformer cymbal is the perfect companion.
Discover a Cymbal as Unconventional as Your Sound
Zildjian's quality control team initially dismissed the Trashformer cymbal for its eccentric qualities, but one playtest with Mangini revealed it to be a diamond in the rough. His enthusiastic reception of its unruly, gritty voice led Zildjian to embrace this rebel cymbal. The Trashformer cymbal is too unorthodox for most traditional cymbal lines but finds a natural home with experimental drummers crafting their own signature sound.
