If Dennis Chambers uses the Crash of Doom, you know it has to be good right? Of course! This cymbal is my favourite cymbal of all time. Not only can you use it as a crash, but as a ride and effects cymbals. Whether used for jazz, rock, blues or funk, it really shines as an all time great.
Due to how thin it is, laying in to the cymbal to get that washy sound is oh so easy. And if you want a ride that isn't too prominent yet still gives a bit of body and presence...this is your cymbal!
Another bonus is the look of the cymbal. Having it in my set up just makes the kit look that much better!
I would highly recommend that you hold back from cleaning this cymbal. The more dirt that sits on this cymbal the better. This cymbal is a dark and warm sounding cymbal, and you'll see when you take your first look at this cymbal that it's not supposed to be clean, it's not supposed to be perfect.
All I can say is that you should go and get this cymbal. It's a dream to play and sounds incredible!
