You need to use a liquid with less stickyness than water at that small scale. Liquid mercury perhaps? Or scale up to a larger size and use a jello like compound to keep the drop together until it hits.
Mercury has a really high surface tension and if you put it on top of fine particles, it will trap them in their place. See mercury vs salt - th-cam.com/video/tA9tqvfWQ7I/w-d-xo.html
The surface tension of the water is apparently rounding up the droplet strongly and causing it to pull together at the rebound. As a result the middle mound is far larger than I've seen on craters on the moon or other places where surface tension would be negligible. Perhaps this could be avoided by adding soap to the water to destroy the surface tension.
Whats so surprising with this? E=mc2 = Same mass with same speed/angle should prduce the same patterns.
The surface tension of the water will make the shape of the crater look differently.

But they used water. Also, the material they used were tiny glass shards

the pattern created by the surface tension on the second droplet is strangely captivating.

Very cool :)
Water water water we need it in NM.
Song?
could have told you that for free..
