Abe Laboriel Jr. Drums - Crash choke doesn’t mute the sound of a sounding crash

Uladzimir

Hey there! :)

I’ve been playing around with Abe Laboriel Jr drum kit and noticed that crash choke doesn’t actually mute the sound of a crash hit. I double checked that I’m using the proper choke for the crash (like F# for C# crash and so on) but unfortunatelly it doesn’t mute the sound of a sounding crash :(

I’m expecting that the sound of crash would be muted by the proper crash choke like it does in the case of hi-hat open/close.

Do I understand correctly that it should mute the sound of the crash? Or am I missing something?
