Crash Cymbals

When not in use make sure your cymbals are placed in the appropriate areas:
In a crash cymbal cradle (indoors)
On a towel (outdoors), NEVER on the ground
Store your towel in your stick bag

Concert Crash Cymbal Grip and Technique

Hold the strap close to the bell between your thumb and index finger, then wrap the other fingers around the straps
Turn the thumb up so the weight of the cymbal is on your index finger. The back fingers will grasp the strap firmly
