Matt Nicholls confirms his use of the Zildjian 21" K Custom Special Dry Trash Crash cymbal in a walkthrough video by soundattak, where he states: "I used to use a china a lot for the old metal-ly stuff we used to do, and I guess since we stopped doing all of them with heavy breakdown kind of things, I just eventually moved away from it and I like this, it's like in-between a crash and a china, and you get that long decay, not like what you get with a china you know, it's super sharp and fast decay so, it's probably my favorite cymbal what I've got at the minute here."
