Technique that I use every time and works for me:
Get a mid range punchy tight crash. Cut out any low freqs that will interfere with kick etc. This will give you your explosive sound on the kick. Put some reverb on it with pre delay to extend the sample. Put an effect on it that warps the sound, automate the effect to come in on the tail of the crash (which has been extended by the reverb).
Add on top a high downlift sound, white noise style. Put a sidechain compressor on it. Send the main crash as the input to the sidechain compressor. Use a widening effect. Automate the widening effect to widen the sound as it decreases in pitch around the same time as the effect on the crash comes in. This will stop it interfering with the frequencies of the main crash.
Get a low freq downlift white noise sound. Remove high frequencies that may interfere with other sounds. Add sidechain. Send main crash to sidechain.
A final trick, as the low freq downlift comes to an end, have it 'warp out' into another synthesised sound, so it 'stamps out' the tail of the downlift, if you know what I mean. This makes the overall production sound tighter.
Hope this helps and gives you some ideas!  You can check the results out on my recent tracks on my soundcloud.

nice tut man!
As far as your final trick to "stamp out" the crash, a simple way to do this is to bounce the crash to audio and reverse it, have the whole thing stereo widened and a bit softer than the main crash, and have it fade in towards the end of the main crash.
this way you get a nice plucking sound as the final stamp and it costs about 10 seconds of work. this is especially nice for short crashes, depending on the type of tune.
i am going to spend some time tomorrow making some crashes warp out in style though, its pretty fun

of all the infinite possibilities to use the hi-freqs, we still choose sampled hihats.

Vengeance Sample packs are awesome for this.
I don't see any point to make it buy yourself.
The overall sound of my tracks jumped 2 levels when i started to use vengeance samples.

Crash #7, Closed HiHat #13 from Tomas pentons pack. Open hats may vary, but i prefer long unprocessed 909 hats edited to taste to fit the track better.
