How do u set that for hard clipping?

For the purposes of some detail towards bit crushing for clipping, check out this link from Logic.

That said, it depends on if you're looking to get some distortion by reducing the bit depth. This is far from the earlier request where you were looking to reduce transient peaks. Only the good advice of using a limiter didn't satisfy I think it was your needs because you weren't looking to brick wall the limiting. This becomes more of a specific need by the user, because a good limiter doesn't have to be brick wall at all. One simply sets the threashold, ceiling, release and input values to achieve the limiting needed. Think of the opposite. A compressor doesn't just sustain signals. The same use of on-board controls of a compressor can vary everything from a kick, to cymbals dancing, to ....you get the picture.

All too often, subject matter in the forum can morph, so given what you're asking, try the bit crusher, or run it in series with a limiter. I'd avoid the bit crusher altogether, but I'm not imposing any answer as much as just trying to clarify your asking what the bit crusher will do for your clip needs.

JMO, but I'd really try to explain what drum peaks and hopefully what frequencies you're looking to alter/cut/crush/distort. That helps others offer the best advise. A bit crusher in general would be crude when looking to clip. Then again, crude may be what you're after. Unless the details are provided, we could be all over this topic, and not have the real need, understood. I'll end by what Switchback stated earlier and that is "clipping comes in many flavors".
Hope the bit crush info adds some possibilities for you. Should be fun trying!
