Cymbals and crashes are giving me the hardest time, but I'm making progress.
Less is more, both in volume and in how often you hit them. Mix and match kits to find the best combo of cymbals. Then you can lower pitch/EQ them to make them sound better. I'd also recommend putting the hits slightly ahead/behind the beat for a human feel and/or adding light swing.
