Breaking Down Crash Cymbals

Video Transcript

"I'm Shaun Schaefer on behalf of Expert Village and today I'm going to show you how to pack up your drum kit efficiently. Now that we have the high hat cymbals packed away, I went ahead and moved the stand out of my way. So now I have more room to work and walk. The next thing I deal with are my two crash cymbals. Okay, I have two crash cymbals and a ride. I do these together. And you'll see, I just unscrew that. And take the cymbal off. And just make sure you always replace any like wing nuts and felts. These are felts right here. Wing nuts and felts because they're so easy to lose, they're the little piece of equipment that it just can go missing and you just had it, and don't know where it is. And it's on the floor. So after I take that one off, I take this one off. Okay, replace the felt, replace the wing nut. And then same thing with the high hat, this crash cymbal on my left, your right, that I'm holding in my left hand, is a sixteen inch. It's a smaller crash cymbal. So this one is going to go ahead and go into the cymbal case right on top of the high hat. This is a seventeen inch crash, so this is bigger, so it's going to go on top. So now that we got the crash cymbals packed away, let's go ahead and take a look at our next step."
