Reminds me of how high up the crash symbol is for the drummer in Silversun Pickups

Does this provide a special sound? Have to do with their style? Just fun? I dunno most about drums

Just a random guess, but I could see the argument that it would reduce crash bleed into the rest of the kit. It might make it easier to mix the main kit more tightly. But if that’s the case, then why leave the hihat low? It might just be a stylistic thing or it might be for the drummer to remember to not ride the crash. I dunno. It’s certainly not standard. They’re the only ones I’ve seen do it on such a small kit.

Edit: I just realized it’s probably up so high so the drummer doesn’t accidentally kill their pollinators

But if that’s the case, then why leave the hihat low

Because the hihat is probably being accessed far more frequently, which both means it doesn't really need to be separated from the "main kit" in the mix as much (it is part of the main kit!), and means that the ergonomics of making the drummer play that way would have a much bigger impact on their drumming.

Great edit golfclap

That's a "crash cymbal", by the way. Pronunciation is very similar, but it's a different word.
