The Artist Concept Benny Greb Signature Crasher Hats by MEINL are short, dry, clear and high in frequency but still dynamic enough to fulfill a whispering shaker-like role in music. These Crasher Hats feature four separate cymbals sandwiched together with different shoulders so they collapse against each other at every hit. The result is a unique sound with no sustaining ring that blends beautifully with ghost notes and other subdivisions but can also make a very percussive statement.
