Meinl GX-12/14TH Generation X 12/14" Trash Hi-Hats Benny Greb Signature

Dry, Sizzling Trash Hat Effects With Adjustable Sustain

The Meinl GX-12/14TH Generation X Trash Hi-Hats are a Benny Greb Signature effects pair designed for drummers who want a dry, immediate response with a rattling, sizzling character. The 12" top and 14" bottom create an unconventional hi-hat combination that adds distinctive texture to grooves, accents and experimental setups.

Holes in both cymbals help eliminate air lock, allowing the pair to speak with greater clarity and a more open, responsive feel. The thin construction gives the Trash Hi-Hats a quick attack, while the contrast between the smaller top and larger bottom contributes to their unusual effects-focused voice.

Sustain can be adjusted using the cymbal stand wing nut and felts, giving players control over how tightly or loosely the pair responds. As part of Meinl’s Generation X series, these Trash Hi-Hats are designed to sit alongside more conventional cymbals as a creative accent option or as part of a custom effects stack.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Generation X Trash Hi-Hats are ideal for drummers who want an unconventional effects pair with dry articulation, sizzling texture and adjustable sustain.
