Man, do cracked, destroyed cymbals bring back memories.
I was lucky enough to be given a Paiste Rude crash when they were introduced as the drum shop I was getting my gear from thought it would last. Uh, no.
I ended up buying a whole set of Rude crashes and destroying them over the course of a year or so. I guess I was kind of hard on them.
They really cut through the louda$$ amps of our guitarist, though.
And you are right, Charles, it's a great way to blow off steam.
I'm at my desk right now doing paradiddles between my hands and feet to every song that comes on the radio.
"Bad Company" is on right now. They don't really fit the song too well.
