A car crash cymbal. I have one! I use my finger to teach my kids how to crash on the āoneā of the music in the car. Itās a cheap novelty that sounds terrible but itās a cute fun funny toy.

u/rsvp_nj Jun 15 '26
I have one too. Christmas goofy gift from my wife. Not practical, BUT I have used it to āpracticeā syncopated crash parts that I need to learn. I play the song over and over again in the car. Glad I have it š

My wife got me one for Christmas too as a joke since Iām always beating on the steering wheel/console/dash. I havenāt installed it, but thinking maybe I should.. at the very least itāll make it make sense to the other drivers around me thinking Iām having a seizure.

It was part of my Christmas gift to him this past year. It came with some finger cymbals that he uses in his trap kit and a little drumstick key chain. He loves it.

Oh, so you really gotta love when he teaches over to smack that thang.

u/ButterscotchAware402 Jun 15 '26
We're on the road a lot and it's become tradition that we both hit it when we first get on the road and then when we get to our destination (plus a couple other thwacks from him along the way of course).

My wife got me one of these and some tiny drumsticks because sheās always finding little things like that as unexpected surprises.
Itās quite cute, but obviously not genuinely useful. More a fun nod to your passion for drumming.

u/nochedetoro Jun 15 '26
I could see it being fun if youāre frequently stuck in your car lol if Iām not wicked early Iām late so Iām always just parked for like half an hour.Ā
My kid would want to use it always tho and Iām all set with that lolĀ

Yeah. And they are shit. Donāt waste your money. They are thin and cheap metal. They dent oh so easily and they sound awful too.
Note: I wasnāt expecting a Zildjian K. I was expecting something fun and decently built. The Car Crash is a big let down.

I used the dashboard in a friend's dad's car during a road trip one time. Fast forward a few years and I saw my friend, driving his dad's same car and you could see every hit I made on the padded dashboard, it was utterly ruined, although at the end of the trip it looked unscathed.

u/JUSTplayIN25 Jun 15 '26
I have one! Mine came with a drum stick but using it only results in a metallic clanging noise. Hitting it with your finger makes it actually sound like a cymbal. It has rivets on it that make the actual ācrashā sound. Theyāre quite entertaining

I have it but it broke one of the inner clips that hold the vent. Gave one to a friend and he broke the cymbal before breaking the vent so lesson is just be careful.

u/armbar222 Jun 16 '26
I have one because it was given to me as a gift. It is the worst sounding cymbal you've ever heard. I mainly use it to annoy my family when they are in the vehicle with me. It does that very well.

Wife got me the same one. Fucked up my vents and sounds about as good as it looks. The mount is terrible. Still a great gift for any drummer as the thought is what counts, and i genuinely enjoyed playing it for the short while before disaster struck.

Hey whatās funny enough is I saw this on Amazon one day and laughed but then was talking to girl buying a cymbal from me and she had one in her car. She slapped it a few times and it sounded alright!!..lol.. I was like āwow, that was not expected!!ā
