I want mine to last longer...

I currently have my crash tilted towards me steep, and I never do rim shots, though...

I like my ride flat, and my hats about two and a half inches lower the longer DW rod... I try to hit my ride and hats on the top rather then hitting the edge...
My snare and toms are all basically level, though I try and prevent rim shots by tilting my snare to the left, I also hit all my drums in the middle...

Any Ideas with out changing it drastically?

P.S. my friend broke 3 or marching sticks in one show!
