Meinl Generation-X Series 12/14in Trash Hats (Pair)

MEINL‘s innovative and award-winning Generation X cymbals pave the way to a completely new world of revolutionary cymbals. These cymbals have sounds which are consciously different and aimed towards advanced, experimental and unconventional drummers who are motivated to explore new sound territories. MEINL‘s Generation X cymbals offer contemporary and modern sounds which were designed in cooperation with some of today‘s most remarkable drummers.

The new Trash Hat can be used on either a regular x-hat, or on a cymbal stand. It combines two different applications in one instrument. Either way it produces a dry, rattling and sizzling sound with a dry, immediate response. Holes in the top and bottom eliminate air lock for maximum clarity.  LISTEN

What‘s the Benny Greb “Trash Hat” all about?

For three years now I have been looking for a trashier and more washy x-hat combination, but without loosing attack when I need it. I also wanted a sound that is very unique, but that still blends in well with my other cymbals and hi-hat sounds. I experimented a lot... combining various splash and china cymbals of different sizes, thicknesses and materials.

The final result is... snare roll please... tadaaaah!

My 12“/14“ Trash Hat that I mostly use as an x-hat on my right, but can also be used on a regular hihat stand to create totally new sounds. Check it out! It‘s perfect for adding a new color to your sound and inspires you to play new stuff. Give me feedback on how you‘re using it. Stay creative!
