Meinl AC Crasher Hats - 6

Benny Greb: Is it a shaker? A programmed & pitched hi-hat sample? Is it a percussion crasher effect? No, they are Crasher Hats. I wanted something very short, dry, clear & with a high frequency, but still very dynamic, that could fulfil a similar role to a splash in music. Hard to achieve! So we had to create something completely unique. Four separate cymbals are placed together. They have different shoulders, so they crash against each other with every hit. The result is incredible. A very unique sound that blends beautifully with ghost notes & other subdivisions, but can also make a very punchy statement. It always sounds perfect without any unwanted noise or sustain sound. It has become part of my sound. Check it out. It is such a useful instrument. I absolutely love it.
