I read about how people were breaking in their Dream Bliss cymbals by doing soft mallet rolls on them a little bit every day. So, I thought "good idea", and started doing this myself on my Agops. Then I realized that I had a small crack near my Agop Sig. Luckily, I bought it new and it was replaced (after waiting for a month).I was told that this rarely ever happens, and was never heard of happening to a Sig. Agop also told me wouldn't have been caused from the mallets, so I just figured it was a freak thing and I continued my rolling. Now, I just found a crack on my 24" AGop SE. I told a Agop rep, and they told me that they have never seen any crack like the one I have. Unfortunately, I bought this secondhand on ebay so I'm probably SOL (good enough reason to buy new from now on). I sent a detailed e-mail to Agop with a pic, but they haven't answered. Probably sick of hearing from me, too bad cause I appreciate customer service. Anyway, my rolls were not agressive in anyway, just enough to swell the cymbal. Do I just have bad cymbal karma and/or gremlins?
