If you break cymbals, you're either a meathead or you have shite technique. And that's all there is to it.

I suffer from both at this point. Luckily, now I'm all electronic, so I can just glue them back together. (or get a new one. they are cheaper than real cymbals)

I kind of agree. I'm a shit drummer, but my technique is good enough that I can play with punch and power without breaking gear or injuring myself. I've been on the same cymbals for over 10 years and they see A LOT of action.

I agree. Keep in mind though I'm playing on thin jazz cymbals in a loud rock setting.

Right. I think I mentioned something like that earlier in the thread. I don't doubt that you have the skill and technique to not break cymbals. You're a damn fine drummer. You just need the right cymbals.

Got around to replacing those cracked crashes. Went shopping at the drum shop down the street from me and picked up a used 20" and 19" HHX Stage Crashes. I'll probably keep using the cracked ones for practice until they are completely gone.

That perspective makes everything look weird sizes.
