I've seen this question pop up a lot and decided to make a video about it.

Can you use a hi hat as a crash? I show you a bit in this video.

I wanted to note that it may not sound as well with heavier/thicker hat cymbals.

Also, you may want to think about getting a pair of hi hats you don't plan on using (as actual hats), if you want to use one of the hats for a crash. It may crack ;-)

Go with what sounds good to you if you'd like, drums are ever changing.
