How Hard Should You Hit Cymbals?

How hard is too hard? What’s the optimum striking velocity for cymbals - especially crashes? Today we compare different cymbals of varying weights and sizes, discovering how we really have to treat each cymbal differently according to its strengths. This is the key to getting the best possible sound out of YOUR cymbals. Hit them correctly (as discussed today) at the proper velocity and angle, and use the proper swiping technique. From there, just use your ears to determine what the right amount of cymbal is in your drum mix.
