If you roll the mallets side by side basically within about an inch or less of each other. If you roll the cymbal with a mallet on either side of the bell the cymbal has time to defend itself against the constant pressure. Also if you were using medium hard mallets instead of softer "fuzzy" mallets this can happen. I use Ludwig medium lamb's wool mallets for that sort of thing. Never had anything like that happen to me in over 50 years of playing but maybe I'm just lucky or something. Post Extras
