 cymbal angledems
i read on the sabian site that leaning a cymbal down too steeply while your playing is really bad for it and can damage badly, but loadsa people have a cymbal or two that are practically vertical.
i'm guessing that sabian arent wrong, but what about the other people, i'm guessing they know what their doing as well
so what do you guys say?

Too much of a tilt is just as bad as the cymbal being flat. This information doesn't stop many people from those positions, though.

it puts stres on the hole of the cymbal. eventually causing it to keyhole.

Which reminds me that I need to pick up clear tubing for new cymbal sleeves.

yeah, you know, like the kind of platic tubing you'd use with an aquarium filter pump.

the clear tubing goes around the metal piece which goes through the center of the cymbal to prevent key-holing
