Looking for the best crash cymbals to suit any budget? I’ve personally tested a range of options to bring you my favourite crash cymbal picks that deliver explosive accents and have a musical tone.
I went with 18" crash cymbals because they offer a great balance of projection, sustain, and weight. They’re a solid, all-around choice that sits right in the middle for crash sizes.
All of these options I've included are powerful, expressive cymbals that will elevate your setup and I've included options to suit a wide range of budgets.
Let me know in the comments which of these crash cymbals was your favorite, or if there’s one you think I missed!

    Great video and comparison. These are a bit outta my prince range except maybe the Speed Cobra but probably all are a bit much for my needs. For me, it’s more the DW 5000 or Tama IC 900 Power Glide. Great content!

    • @GideonWaxman
      @GideonWaxman 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Glad you liked it! I do like the DW 5000s. I think the Iron Cobra/ Speed Cobras are the best for the money out there though

      @CurtisVasseur 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ yes indeed.

    • @CurtisVasseur
      @CurtisVasseur 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ I’m comparing the DW 5000 to the 900 Iron Cobra and the Speed Cobra. I won’t be playing speed metal or any of that type of music. I don’t need the higher end pedals like Trick or Axis or DW MDD or Tama Dyna Sync or Pearl Demon Drive or the XR. Those are pricey and out of my range for what I want to use the pedals for. Mainly want to get into playing double bass occasionally and incorporate it in to music. So I’m thinking Tama Iron Cobra 900 or DW 5000. I have both of those single pedals. Both are well made and have all of the adjustments I’ll ever need. I do notice a slight difference however playing them. Tama seems to be a better deal than DW. DW is good but they tend to seem to charge a slight premium. The 9000 is very smooth. When I’m comparing pedals, I’m leaving no stone unturned.

    The PowerStroke 3 would be my choice. The Emad 2 and Powersonic also sound great. I've been using the SuperKick 2 for the past couple years and really like them. The reason I went back to the Remo is because they're capable of greater dynamic range. I need the "cut" theu provide. The P3 and P4 will still have a great presence on a live, un-mic'd situation. The PowerStroke 4 is a two plu version of the P3. Two plies of 7 mil film, like an Emperor. I never the bass drum anymore. I tried but don't like it. I just need Ebony P3 resos, and a PowerStroke 3 or 4, and I'm all set.

    my opinion: use stock stand, a low-end - midrange stand, or just go lightweight (check out tama classic hi hat stand, it is the only stand anyone should consider buying new imo). Only buy a nice stand if it is used/discounted, or if you want it for aesthetics to have matching footboards. hi hat stands are pretty simple, so don't waste your money with all of the marketing fluff features, as they just cost you money and are more points of failure. I get watching this video for fun, but for the love of god, don't waste your money on a dw 9500 or tama speed cobra 915, or anything similar, especially if you are buying new. save the $200-$300. it is not worth it.
