    They probably will sound more like a small ride cymbal than a crash because they are usally too thick!

    With experience yes, the hi-hats I were using were cheapos and so I can't comment on what they really sounded like.

    I tried it in the old days. They're usually too thick to make a good crash sound, especiall the bottom hi hat cymbal.

    Yea middle man I was actually threatened with arrest for trying it. I was written a warning ticket and let go, but believe me I will never try it again. It is just not worth the risk!

    Definitely wouldn't recommend hi hats as a spair crash. They do work as a cool bell-ish effect if you like that though. For a while, I had the bottom hat of my old PST-3's set up upsidedown to use as a chime. Now I have a real chime, so I don't use it lol
