Meinl's Generation X cymbals are mostly designed in collaboration with renowned and gifted drummers, and the GX-12/14TH Benny Greb Trash Hats are no different. This pair of cymbals consists of a 14-inch bottom and a 12-inch top and, as you could probably tell by the name, German drummer extraordinaire Benny Greb was involved in the design process. The result is a pair of auxiliary hi-hats that is usually mounted on the right side of the drum kit (if you play right-handed) and offers bright, cutting accents. The high-quality FX9 alloy guarantees a bright, musical sound and excellent durability.
Meinl Generation X GX-12/14TH
These Trash Hats are great for real cymbal connoisseurs. The holes in the cymbals give them some added brightness and prevent air lock, where a vacuum between the top and bottom cymbals causes a slow reaction to your pedal presses. Furthermore, these Trash Hats can produce a wide variety of sounds, ranging from trashy to sharp, depending on where you hit the cymbal. It has a rich pedal chick that can serve the music admirably, but can also be quite cutting. This pair of auxiliary hi-hats is sure to be a great addition to your drum kit and a fantastic pair of cymbals for both rhythms and accents.
