Crash cymbals can be used for crashes, rolls, ride patterns, and many effects. It’s usually the third type of cymbal drummers focus for their setups, but it’s equally valuable as the ride or hi-hats and one you wouldn’t want to leave out. Many drummers have several crashes of various sizes, thicknesses, and sounds.
