Review: "Trash Hats were created in conjunction with German drum sensation Benny Greb. Benny had originally been looking for a trashy “aux” hi-hat for his kit. However, the Trash Hats are designed to be stacked and used separately. In other words, the 14" could be your China, while the 12" could be your splash. As with the Electro Stacks, rearranging these cymbals can result in some interesting percussive permutations.
While I briefly used the Trash hats independently, my main focus was in setting them up as normal hats. (I also played them in a fixed, closed “aux”-hats style, which produced a washy alternative to my array of cymbals.) The top and bottom cymbals both boast an air-hole/filter design, which is a feature Meinl says was instituted to eliminate airlock and increase clarity. Meinl also contends that these hats can garner different response by loosening the nut and felt washers that secure the top cymbal on the clutch (creating more metal-on-metal contact). When I put this to the test, I received a voluminous and sizzle-y attack, much harsher than that of a “standard” pair of hi-hats."
