Cymbals set up with
flat angles and played with a dead on stroke tend to last a short
length of time after a large amount of beating.if the cymbal is
taking the brunt of the stroke and absorbing all of said stroke it
has no where to go.If the cymbal is being played at an angle and
being glanced(using a swiping or slicing motion)the cymbal doesnt
take the brunt of the stroke and will last longer.



just scientifically figure this out: play different cymbals at different
angles over a given time, eg. 25 years, 4 gigs a week, each gig up to 5 hours.
After one month or 35 years tell me wich cymbal lasted longer..

"tend to last a short length of time"
What is your definition of short lenght of time"???? How long does it take
you to destroy a ride cymbal? and what is your definition of "a large amount of
beating it"? What is your definition of how long a cymbal is suppose to
last?
