Cowbells need also to break in. The mass produced, i.e, LP break in pretty quick. The handmade, such as JCRs, need a little bit more of break in. Personally, I keep my new bells and use them on rehearsals so I could break them in and/or in some live gigs. (These are the handhelds when bongo playing and the non handheld for timbales).
Obviously, natuaral Heads, need break in.
I am noticing a change of sound, or break in, in my "cascara" of my timbales.
