I am about to buy a hi-hat and i dont want my cymbal to break soon after i buy it(my current hi-hat and previous crash are trashed). so i was wonderering what cymbals hold up for the longest without cracking?

It all depends on your budget.

I use Zildjian New Beats and they're very reliable.

I currently use Zildjian K Custom Hybrids. They are expensive but havent taken any ware. Sabian B8 hats are relatively cheap and reliable. When i had mine, i had them for five years. They were dropped and smashed like crazy, but never broke.
