Yes Drummers indeed crack their cymbals.
I have never heard of a pro drummer that has never cracked a cymbal, broken a stick or broken a drum head. This is a natural thing that happens. It is most likely to happen are after quite some playing but you can pro long a cymbals life. Here are some tips on how to make sure your cymbals lasts long.
- Use the right technique. Always hit your cymbals with a glancing motion. Technique is key to good sound and longer cymbal life.
- Dont Hit too hard. I understand that some Music Genres require you to hit your cymbals to the fullest. Unless you really need to, do not hit it hard. Dynamics is one of the key things a drummer should have
- Dont put your cymbals too high. When youre playing make sure you position your cymbals slightly facing towards you. also make sure they are not too high. This will make sure you dont hit the edge of the cymbal so it would prolong its life and your sticks life.
Many Pro drummers may not follow some of these rules lets say for example Travis Barker. He sets his Cymbals high and straight, not facing towards him. And most famous metal drummer hit their cymbals like they want to destroy it. Remember they are sponsored, If they break their cymbals They are likely to get new ones for free. Unless youre super rich or youre sponsored might as well do your best to prolong your equipment's life. Drum equipments are expensive and should be taken care of always.

What is a famous cymbal maker?
When I was growing up, the name Zildjian (Avedis Zildjian Co.) was synonymous with good cymbals. This was so for Orchestral, jazz and rock use. The drummers who couldn't afford to outfit themselves with all-Zildjian cymbals would supplement with Paiste cymbals, which were considered inferior, but at least affordable. There is an immense list of cymbal makers, though, some of whom make cymbals in varieties that range from fingercymbals (good for belly dancing and renaissance consort music) to humongous gongs (think RKO Pictures, if you're old enough!)Putting "cymbal" into wikipedia.org will get a nice long list!

Why cymbals are used in heavy metal bands?
Typically, for metal you want louder, heavier cymbals, and often a dryer sound with a quicker decay. Most brands offer a wide variety of cymbals ranging from thinner, brighter cymbals to heavier metal type cymbals. You can usually find out in the description of a cymbal (if you're ordering them) what kind of sound they produce. Alot of sabian cymbals say in the name what they're for. I know they make a ride cymbal that says metal ride (really short, piercing sound). If you wanna know what a full-setup needs, metal drummers are known for having huge setups with tons of cymbals. Mostly, this is for show and you really don't need that many. You, for sure, need a hi-hat (bigger rather than smaller), a ride, and for metal I would say two crashes, no smaller than 16", maybe a 16 and an 18, or an 18 and a 20. If you wanna go bigger, you can start adding more crashes, china crashes, splashes, any kind of effects cymbal you can imagine, stacked cymbals, piggy-back cymbals. The possibilities are endless.
