No. but looking at the growth of the cymbal industry over the past 50 years or so, there are a few trends, especially amongst the big 4----5 if you include UFIP, which has a significant influence. It's pretty easy to extrapolate from that.
Impurities in the base metal, whether they be charcoal residue, other unwanted inclusions or small amounts of oxidized, sulphated or residual other metals , collected from recycling are one of the main causes of cracking ----possibly the main cause.
Cracked cymbals , are often covered under warranty. No company wants to cough up new product to cover warranties. The marketplace for cymbals has been undergoing a continuous flow towards consistency and the companies promote that, by virtue of releasing an ever more complex array of cymbal models.Sixty years ago an A was an A---with minor variances due to weight and bell formation. Now, the need for precise formulation and predictability is so important because each company has an array of models, which are pitched at the competitions models. Endorsers , endorse the predictability of a cymbal, as much as the character. Impurities , cause character and reduce predictability and that's why the belief in a cymbals individuality was paramount in times gone by. That expectation in new cymbals , is decreasing in leaps and bounds. Meinl uses almost exclusively( except Byzance) precision, sheetstock ----almost everything is computer controlled. Durability, precision and predictability are the market now and everyone must keep up or get left behind.
UFIP via Zanchi, is a telling case in point. The wisdom attached to the practice of rotocasting was , to spin the impurities to the perimeter, so they could be removed ,yielding a more consistent product. That , benefit wasn't lost on the other companies.
K. Zildjian , didn't cease to exist because nobody liked their cymbals. They ceased to exist because their production methodology and inconsistency became impractical in the modern world. When production was shifted to the modern world , and when the original artisans , lost control of the production , very quickly their charm was lost because there was an ongoing intent to maintain the look of a K but increase the predictability. The cymbals became more consistent and ****genous and I'll bet there are a lot fewer warranty claims.
