What hats sound like trash?

I'm after a pair of hi hats that sound really trashy... not particularly cutting or sharp, just really nice and trashy. Trashy. That's the best word I can think of to describe the sound I'm after.

Help me out with some suggestions por favor. The Stanton Moore series seems like an obvious one but there's nowhere in my neck of the woods to try them out!

Oh wait, that's a trash crash and fat hats. I was thinking it was trash hats and fat crash. Oh well. Not too far off.

Go to cymbalsonly.com and try listening to Istanbul Agop Signature hi-hats. Istanbul Agop is the place to go for the best & often funky pies.

Trashiest hats I've ever heard are Meinl Trash hats. I think they were made in cooperation with Benny Greb.

Varying slosh, sharp and grainy sound. Pretty trashy if I do say so myself.

I played my teacher's Bosphorus Hammer series hi-hats a couple days ago. 14". Definitely a very trashy sound. Relatively thin and not very loud, but sizzling-hot open hi-hat sound.

Cheers everyone. Will check them all out. I've had my eye on some Agops for a while now but those meinl trash hats sound like they could be really good for my current needs. Now to figure out a devilish scheme to get some money...
