I'm not usually a guy who goes through cymbals, but I have definitely been giving these Giant Beats a work-out.My recommendation, if such a concern is a real and common problem, would be to buy from a dealer who offers an extended warranty. I know Guitar Center does this and it's a worthy expense wi...
