The GENERATION X TRASH HAT has holes in the top and bottom to eliminate air lock for maximum clarity. Dry, immediate response with a rattling, sizzling sound. Adjustable sustain by utilizing the wing nut and felts of the cymbal stand.
What’s the Benny Greb “Trash Hat” all about?: For many years now I have been looking for a trashier and more washy x-hat combination, but without losing 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 hihat sounds. I experimented a lot…combining various splash and china cymbals of different sizes, thicknesses and materials. The final result is…snare roll please…tadaaaaah! 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!
