This is all from me just beating the hell out of them I guess, so I guess I would know a bit about cracked cymbals from my experiences.
With cracked cymbals, depending on the size of the crack(s), you usually get a sizzly kind of sound. The cymbals will also become quietter and less sensitive, which is a pain for a crash or ride.
But if you can deal with that and you like the weird sounds you can get, then all the power to you.
