TRX Cymbals

American brand, Turkish workshops

TRX assembles a range from several Turkish workshops under one catalogue, organised by character rather than by factory: DRK for dark, BRT for bright, NRG for loud, and so on down a deliberately blunt naming scheme.

Models

  • TRX NRG Series

    Cymbal

    NRG cymbals are heavy and cut hard, made for the volumes at which thinner Turkish cymbals wash out entirely.

  • TRX BRT Series

    Cymbal

    BRT is the bright counterpart: tighter lathing, higher pitch, and enough sustain to fill space in a sparse arrangement.

  • TRX DRK Series

    Cymbal

    DRK is TRX's dark line — thin, unlathed in places, and pitched low — and the series that made the brand's blunt naming scheme comprehensible at a glance.

Categories

  • Cymbals

    Ride, crash, hi-hat, effects, orchestral, and specialty cymbals, plus cymbal makers and series.
