Recently I've been playing with more confidence and hitting harder. I cracked an A custom 16 inch medium thin crash that was used and old and I replaced it with a 16 inch Paiste signature power crash used from ebay. Well 3 weeks with that crash and it is cracking. I am also noticing that my other A custom crash, a 19 inch crash/ride has a crack in it. That one is also older. I think when I am hitting them I am sweeping but I am hitting hard also. I've seen drummers hit harder however.
Also I prefer the sound of thin crashes but when I bought the power crash I bought it with the logic that a power crash is thicker and less prone to breaking or cracking. Is that correct?
Just looking for any advice that could help them last longer. Or perhaps advice on a more durable cymbal that also sounds good.
Thanks
