This is a MEINL HCS series Trash Crash cymbal. You can use it as an effects cymbal on its own, or, because it's 14 inches, you can try it as a top hi-hat, stack it with a splash or ride cymbal, and so on. There are many ways to have fun with this cymbal. It will be shipped in bubble wrap and a cardboard box. It has been used very little and is in beautiful condition with no scratches or cracks, but please understand that it is a used item and is sold as-is, with no returns, refunds, or exchanges. Thank you for your consideration.
