Finger placement: crash?

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I’m having trouble with stretching my ring finger to hit the crash accurately. I was wondering if there is any benefit to using your ring finger over using your middle finger to hit the crash? I find it a bit easier with my middle finger, but I don’t want to start creating muscle memory with my middle finger if later down the line it would be better/ergonomic to use my ring finger.

Hey JayT,

That seems completely fine in almost all cases. I’d say just use the middle finger. You also have 2 more cymbals to hit which do not require a stretch so this adjustment is fine as well.
