Personally I would try to modify the crack. If the crack in on the edge you can file it away or cut a "halfmoon" piece of it around the crack, which will stop the spread. It shouldn't affect the sound that much. I've never cracked any of my hi-hats. My Z. 15" rock hihat from 1995 is still in shape. But I am going to be very sad when it does. :)
@schybba I've mounted splashes upside-down on top of other cymbals for the 8 years I've been drumming, and I haven't broken one yet. It's all about how hard you play. Tightness is another issue; the tighter you have the wing-nuts cranked onto your cymbals on the stands, the more likely it is that a cymbal can crack. Always give cymbals room to breathe and they'll last longer, so a splash on the hihat stand should be ok. I don't mount splashes there anymore because my drop-clutch gets in the way.
I've broken a few cymbals myself during my 19 years of drumming, mostly Z. 14", 15" and 16" crashes and a 20" Z. china boy. I'm not sure why the china broke, it was mounted very high at the time with a steep angle and upside down compared to your china there. It's difficult to get Wuhan here in Norway, mostly Sabian, Z., Paiste and Istanbul cymbals in the stores.
I don't have room for my splashes where my band has rehearsals so the 10" Sabian HH splash is still alive.
@schybba There's a small crack in my Wuhan 10" splash, but I never mount it upside-down on its own. I just beat the heck out of it when I first got it because I loved the sound so much, and the crack hasn't affected the sound yet. I don't break sticks a whole lot either, maybe a pair every half-year or so. :P I've learned not to hit my Wuhans too hard because they're more fragile, I beat the daylights out of my Sabian hihats because I've played on cracked hats before and they sizzle perfectly...
Change the head on the snare drum to Ambassador a coated type. The first snare I got was pinstripe and I broke the head in less than 3 months. Also if using brushes the ambassador will give a better sound. Multi-purpose, man.
haha i love the bell !!!!! flip the bell and put the moon jell in side it !!!! that way it will be easyer too hit and the moon jell wont get in the way :) nice sett
I'll either use rings or MoonGels just so it's not extra-echoey in my livingroom. :P The drums are in my room now though, so I don't use rings often...They kinda buzz on the drumhead if you turn your snares off, it's weird. I never noticed until playing with my snare-switch off for a more tribal-feel to my style, and the rings will buzz on the tom-heads, so I don't use them as often now.
the only reason they do that (buzz on your heads) is because maybe you accidently played ON them like u hit them with your stick so they "very-slightly" bent and its off. If a ring isnt 100% shaped for the drum it will buzz, its happened to me before just get some new ones, and
Thanks! And sorry; I've heard just about every pronunciation in the book for every brand of drum-anythings, and it bugs the crap out of me that nobody seems to know the real way to pronounce everything. I've met a few people who actually from time to time would pronounce the same cymbal or drum brand differently more than once in a few sentences. :P
Paiste,(pronounced Pie-Ste) a Swiss manufacturer and designer, is one of the world's largest manufacturers of cymbals, gongs, and metal percussion. Paiste is an Estonian/Finnish word which means "shine". "the correct pronunciation for 'Paiste' is 'Pie-stee', or as Mario Calire of Ozomatli says, 'It rhymes with 'feisty'!"
basically, its swiss. and in their language the second vowel makes the sound. in this case "I" so it makes the long i sound. thus, Pie-stee.
hey man this video helped me alot! i have been wanting to hear what the meinl bell cymbal. just one peice of advice.take off the top cottons of your cymbals it will last a longer time
few notes: don´t buy diffrent drumheads/skins, stick to one brand, I do remo.
don´t mount your splashes upside down. it will damage them alot if you do it for a long time. also don´t mount your china upside down it will damage your stick and it will break easyer!
Really awesome kit! put up some videos where you play it, then I will subscribe!!
Thank-you! I'm getting new stands and a few new cymbals tomorrow, and I was going to do a vid of me playing on them soon after. I know about upside down splashes, I only do that for space, and I'll have more room soon. The china is flipped 'cause I have THICK sticks. My Vaters have taken a beating; not a crack yet, so I don't worry too much. I don't hit like a maniac anyway. I plan to get matching heads, but the 10" tom came with a Remo, and I already had all Evans; I'll fix it later. :P

Dude, that splash upsidedown on the hi-hat will break. Be careful on how you mount your cymbals, but on the other hand playing is learning.
