A lot of it depends on setup.
Angle of the cymbals and felts used (how tight they hold the cymbal)
I also come in with a angled swing. So more like waving a small flag in my hand motion at a parade... (hopefully that makes sense lol)
Hello, I've been playing drums for about 4 months and I'm starting to learn fast, I hope it's not a dumb question to ask but can anyone tell me how to do repeated cymbal strikes? I know how to strike a cymbal but it seems when you hit it fast it starts flailing everywhere? I can't seem to keep it under control, and I never see lessons on quarter note crash strikes, it seems like every rock song ends with it? Does anyone have tips?

Thank you!
This why it's good to have more than one crash! Alternate hitting each in turn, allows each to simmer down a bit before the next strike.

Everything they said. Start off right and you'll save some money by not replacing cracked cymbals. I've had several that I've owned for over twenty yr. and I don't hold back. I hit them pretty hard, but I hit them right.
