What is you favorite move to do while playing cymbals?

Mine (other than twirling and throwing the cymbals to each other) is doing a sizzle suck!!!

My favorite is either splitting diddled 16th notes at 180 beats/min, or a loud, tight press (sizzle).

Hitting the perfect unison crash...


...while crabbing.

I like to play Gambit on the cymbals! yea, thats the stuff!

Split 32nd note taps are fun.

Split parts, with a line that can play them are fun as hell. But i guess im old school- a stickler for technique. a line of 10 people playing 18's and 20's all exicuting pristine technique is the coolest thing ever. to the untrained eye of some spectators they are taken aback. i have had more than one person who was watching our line warm up before a game come up to me and ask how i do [technique]. Also flips might be my favorite thing to do. Our line flips our cymbals up and down, thus they flash about but all at the same time.. I just love watching video or standing back and watching it happen its impressive.

I like flipping them in a wave like motion with the rest of the cymbal line. My line did that my freshman year and at every show when we did it the crowd went crazy!

When I played cymbals my freshman year, I liked to write all kinds of awesome visuals, plus I got to write a tag to the song "What Is Hip?"

Ummm... I'm a tenor player so I don't really know how to play very much on cymbals but I like doing slides.

all visuals are fun on cymbals, i like doing the really hard ones. we had one once on a line of 5 where we were jumping over eachothers cymbals, rolling over eachother's backs...it was crazy, but everyone loved it!
