I've been thinking the past few days, whilst noticing how everyones set up varies with personal preference, What is the relation, if any, between cymbal angle and breaking cymbals?
I have my cymbals almost parallel with the floor, its just how I like them, I find if I'm constantly crashing, and its any more tilted towards me I can't get enough strike on the cymbal if that makes sense, but if I hit it hard enough, it swings back up so on the next beat the cymbal is on its way up and I'm striking down, I'm just really worried about breaking them! Has anyone else found a correlation between angle and breaking rates? Or is it just down to technique? I don't want to tighten the wingnuts too much either as it dampens the cymbals and obviously makes it more susceptible to breaking. Sorry If this has been answered before, I've done a bit of searching in the forum but nothing quite answered my question
Also - cymbal logos, Mine are all still there apart from a Sabian AAX Stage ride I just picked up for £60 - immaculate condition thats obviously been well looked after as it looks brand new, the finish is so damn brilliant, but the logos have started fading, I know this happens with cleaning, but is there any companies out there that re-paint or re-do these logos again that anyones aware of?
Many thanks in advance guys, Jon
