I never cracked any cymbals until I started playing in loud bands. As it turns out, I really enjoy wailing away in loud bands, so as a result, I've broken a couple dozen, anyway, maybe more. Mostly crashes, but a couple Wuhan chinas, two rides, and two hi hat tops.
I haven't broken anything in two years, but in that time, I've been doing lower intensity gigs.
Todd - I played the Satyricon regularly in the early-mid nineties as well. That place was great. It's still there being the same divey live venue isn't it? It's the place where Kurt Cobain met Courtney Love, legend has it.... Do you remember Gern Blanston, Atomic 61, and all the other Cavity Search bands? They all used to play there all the time (including Control Freak, which was the CS band I was in at the time). Memories!
