The Hammerax Dustbowl combines a suspended cymbal and instant crasher to form a radical hybrid effect. Because of its unique design, Dustbowl can be switched immediately from a splash-like cymbal hybrid to an instant crasher by dropping it onto any cymbal over 12" and playing the cymbal as usual or whacking it directly for a nasty crasher sound. The crasher mode works especially well on hi-hats. You can also try dropping the Dustbowl cymbal onto a tom or snare. Note: If you use Dustbowl on a tom, the tom will need to tilt a bit flatter than usual or it can slide off. Used on drums produces an almost electronic sound.
