UTILIZING A COMPLETELY NEW HAMMER PEEN AND HAMMERING TECHNIQUE, THE 18" B8X BALLISTIC CRASH IS A THIN MODEL THAT DELIVERS FUNKY, AGGRESSIVE ATTACK, FULLY CAPABLE OF CREATING HIGH-PITCHED MAYHEM WHILE REMAINING MUSICAL. NOT UNLIKE A HIGHER PITCHED HHX X-TREME CRASH, THE EXTRA-LARRGE HAMMERING PATTERN FROM THE BOTTOM CREATES A FLEXIBLE CYMBAL THAT IS MORE RESPONSIVE AND OPENS UP QUICKLY AND EASILY. IT ALSO RESULTS IN A PITCH BEND THAT IS SHAPED UPWARD, MAKING FOR A TRASHY CRASH THAT IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO GO FULLY BALLISTIC!
