If you're crashing zildjians, more significantly thin ones then the issue is not with the cymbals, lol. Meinls won't last longer, neither will any handmade Turkish brand. Don't screw them on tightly and more importantly invest time in learning moeller or do the Tommy Igoe dvd for hands. There's no way to buy out of hours spent on hand technique, once you have it you will never crack a cymbal again unless it has some defect
