 *CRACK - Generally caused by striking the cymbal using the wrong technique, mounting cymbals too tightly, or mishandling. A crack can run along the lathing grooves, or against them. They most often occur at/near the edge, but can occur anywhere. These can be repaired, which changes the sound. Ultimately the smaller the crack, the less that the crack will affect the sound. However, further use will make the crack get bigger. Cracks are often detected from hearing the metal vibrating against metal across the damaged area.

 *DING / FLEABITE - Damage caused to the edge of the cymbal. This can be the result of a drop, or coming into contact with force. [[File:Fleabite 1.jpg|thumb|center|250px|Ding / Fleabite]]<br>
-*FINGERPRINTS - Touches from fingers onto the cymbal surface. On cymbals that have a protective coating, these can usually be wiped off easily. For those without this coating, these lead to tarnishing, which usually looks yellowish, greenish, blackish, or brownish in appearance. (depending) Fingerprints should be used descriptively when buying or selling. [[File:Cymbal Fingerprints 1.jpg|thumb|center|250px|Fingerprints]]<br>

 *KEYHOLE - Used to describe a mounting hole of the cymbal being out of round. Some keyholes are so bad that a metal grommet might be used to keep the damage from worsening. This is caused by the mounting hole coming into direct contact with the metal post of the cymbal stand. To avoid this condition, always use a cymbal sleeve, and inspect these often for wear.
