- ANALOG ELECTRO AND HIP HOP EFFECT: the Meinl Crasher has a frequency that easily differentiates from hihats and snare with a trashy, electronic, metallic tone
- WHY IT MATTERS: it's a hassle-free way to add completely new sounds to your kit, and open your mind to new patterns and stickings
- HOW IT WORKS: strike the Crasher with a stick or mallet just like a closed pair of hihats; two steel pieces make contact with each other to respond with a short, crisp burst of sound
- ZOOM IN: the wavy edge is perfect for creating guiro sound effects; drag a drumstick across to make a rattling sustain or washboard sound
- OF NOTE: comes with a standard 3/8" eye bolt mount that fits percussion rods or cymbal stands; it's easy to place anywhere in your setup
- BY THE NUMBERS: measures 6.1" L x 5.5" W (including mount)
- THE TAKEAWAY: the Meinl Crasher is a versatile add-on with a nice contrast in sound from cymbals and drums; use in a drum kit or percussion setup
- THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
Our large turbo Crasher has been sized down to add more sound possibilities to your set up. A small, thin metal sheet gives this model a dark and dry crashing sound, or you can guide a stick along the waved edge for a guiro effect. Pair with the large version for unique playing patterns in any musical setting. This percussion instrument can be placed on any rod for a quick and easy set up.
