Hot or cold cymbals?
This one is for all of you science people out there.
Would a cymbal that is in a hotter climate be more likely to crack than a cymbal in a colder climate? My drums are in my basement which can get pretty cold in the winter, and it made me wonder whether the temperature would have a difference or not on how strong the cymbal would be.
Common sense tells me that if the cymbal is hotter, then the molecules in it would be moving faster which would result in the metal being more brittle. So at first I thought that that would mean that the cymbal would break more easily, but then I looked at it from a physics stand point: Impulse= Force x Time. So if the impulse is the same for both cymbals, and one has a greater time than the other, then that would mean that the colder cymbal would have a greater force applied to.
So now i'm in a pickle. What do you guys think?
