Welcome to the forum. I'm a jazz player. I'll try to find some time to load your song but this week isn't looking good.

Just browsing it briefly, that's quite a fast tempo. I see only one Shot, at measure 130. The rest of the chords at the end use Holds (three periods) but exclude the drums (adding the letter d at the end). I see chords beyond the end of the song; not sure what you intended.

If you want a drum cymbal crash, you are more likely to get one if you use a shot (not hold) on your final chord and make sure the Bar for End of Chorus is well beyond so a cymbal ring doesn't get truncated. Then use a part marker on the start of the final chord, and make it a different type from the section that just played. The most pronounced drum crash is to go from a B green section to a blue A section.

If you don't want a shot in the other instruments, experiment with freezing some of the tracks then changing the shot/hold status in the unfrozen one(s).

Finally, there is a setting about drum crashes in the Preferences, RealDrums. I'll see if I can find it when I get back to my computer.
