Do thin cymbals break easier?
No, thin cymbals do not break easier. Thin cymbals flex much easily as compared to thicker cymbals. Most cymbals break as a result of prolonged heavy-hitting. Since you don’t need to hit thin cymbals hard to get them to produce a loud sound, they don’t usually get broken compared to thick and heavy cymbals.
Do Dirty cymbals sound different?
Yes, dirty cymbals sound different. When dirt and dust accumulates and fills the pores (or dimples) of cymbals, it changes the cymbal’s sound. However, keep in mind that this will only happen if you don’t clean your cymbals. Some drummers prefer to clean their cymbals every once in a while.
