I have a drummer friend whose MO is pretty much to beat the drums as absolutely hard as he can, and he breaks sticks, cymbals, and heads constantly. It's kind of a shame because cymbals don't sound their best when you are smashing them with all your might, but he just kind of sheepishly shrugs and says that he learned how to play wrong and it's too late to change now. He's got a unique drumming style, which is cool, but that's the only sound he can do.
