There are many crashers on the market. Most of them consist of several differently shaped and arranged plates. They give the drummer hard, short, cutting crashing sounds. Their approach here is a little different. The experience with the BuzzBoards led to the approach of making this sound system playable over sticks with a wider dynamic range. Thus, the DynaCrasher was developed from wooden plates with a snare carpet on a solid wood carrier. This design allows for quiet hand playing that instantly produces snare or sizzle sounds at low volumes. Still, there's penetrating crasher sounds when playing with sticks at high volumes, such as drum set groove arrangements. The two adjustment screws take care of adjusting the buzz/crash sustain. Although it is wood, the striking surface material is extremely durable. It was originally designed for construction site use and is compacted to withstand forklifts and other heavy machinery. Schlagwerk have not been able to harm the surface with any tool in the drummer's arsenal. So Schlagwerk offer two versions for different applications. DC280 is the percussion version, which is fixed to a surface by Velcro (the number stands for the length in mm) DC280M is mountable via our Woodblock mount, suitable for any standard percussion rod with 9-10mm diameter. A great addition to any percussion or drum set up.
