Expanding on the launch of its Icon Series in 2010, TRX Cymbals introduced the Dark Icon micro-series at the Winter NAMM Show 2012 in Anaheim, California.
The TRX Dark Icon micro-series are characterized by a heavily-hammered, natural playing surface with a lathed, brilliantly finished underside.
The cymbal line is further distinguished by its extra thin weight— all of which combine to create a deep, dark, vintage tone, lightning-fast response and unconventional, two-tone appearance.
In addition, each Dark Icon cymbal includes an innovative series of small holes at strategic locations to facilitate the installation and removal of rivets, jingles and other increasingly popular sound-modifiers and custom effects.
And, although they are unlabeled as to type, Dark Icons have a versatility that allows them to be used as rides, crashes and crash-rides in a variety of musical styles and situations.
The new cymbals are available in a limited range of sizes and types. TRX Dark Icons come in 16 up to 23 inch models and as 13, 14 and 15 inch matched hi-hats.
Jingles, rivets and other sound modifiers will be released at a later date.
