Zildjian A0612 12" Oriental China "Trash"
Explosive, High-Energy Trash Effect in a Compact Size
The Zildjian A0612 12" Oriental China "Trash" is a compact yet intensely expressive FX cymbal, delivering an authentic trashy Chinese sound with a very fast, explosive attack and rapid decay. Its bright, high-pitched splash-China hybrid character makes it perfect for sharp accents, punchy fills, and adding edgy tonal colour to modern drum setups. This unique 12" size fits neatly between splash and China voices, offering quick punctuation without overpowering the mix.
Brilliant Finish, Thin Weight & High Profile for Maximum Bite
Built with a brilliant finish, thin paper-thin weight, a small bell, and high profile, the A0612 speaks instantly with cutting clarity. Its bright tonality, short sustain and aggressive attack make it ideal for players who want FX accents that stand out in rock, fusion, pop, electronic and experimental genres. Whether used alone or layered with other splashes, it adds a distinct, exotic shimmer that elevates any cymbal palette.
