Instruments & Gear
TRX has announced an expansion and upgrade to its exclusive special edition line: the Special Edition KX Thunder and AX Lightning Crash cymbals.
Offered in 16˝ and 18˝ models, the new, vented cymbals bring TRX’s popular, specially designed hole pattern to its midpriced line. The cymbals have a unique, trashy sound when used alone or stacked and are recommended for everything from traditional jazz and R&B, to rock, pop and metal.
The new “Deacon” cymbal packs from CRX offer the professional sound and performance of B20 Bronze cymbals at a B8 price. This combo is now available in Classic (dark) and Xtreme (bright) series and a choice of two popular configurations: The “Old Testament” Pack, which includes 14” Hi-Hats, 21” Ride and 18” Crash with bag ($499.99 street), and the “New Testament” Pack, which includes 10” Splash, 14” Stacker and 16” Crash ($199.99 street).
