The term breakable[edit]

Should this even be here? All parts of the drumset are breakable. The stands are called hard ware because they are the least breakable. That I understand. The bass drum to many is the most distinguishable from one drummer's touch to the next and is very breakable. I believe all pieces are equal and should be regarded in this manner, otherwise we lose the whole kit and over-individualize each piece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.185.197.117 (talkcontribs)

It's the standard term, see wikt:breakable, and a very useful one, albeit poorly defined; The Wiktionary definition is inadequate on several grounds but I'm not quite sure how to fix it. Your point may be logical and I wish you well in promoting it in the appropriate forums, but we do not try to fix English usage here. Andrewa (talk) 09:59, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
