Smaller sizes sound like a cross between a splash and a china, larger sizes sound more like a cross between crash and a china or a swish - Fast, trashy attack.
The symmetrically placed geometric holes give this crash a splashy, raw attack with a very quick decay - Great for accents or in a stack with other cymbals.
When not used as a Hi Hat pair, the top cymbal makes for a quick and trashy splash and the bottom can be used as an accent bell or rested on a drum as a mute.
A darker, drier take on the Xist Ion Series, the Ion Dark Trash is an even more dynamic and complex take on the series. Fast response with a very quick decay.
