lmao...try up loading it to photobucket first...cause you posted the link on your compute rhardrive not the URL ...but anyways more directly i dont know any good ways to fix Hats i cracked y top on and just switched the two out ummif its dents then you and TRY and pop them out but just try not to warp the whole cymbal
also if their cracked an trick ive heard is to drill a hole that is slightly wider then the crack on the end of the crack ..that'll stop the crack from spreading
any ways hope that helped lata!!

Just out of curiosity, how in the heck could you bend the bottom hat up and still have a perfect top? Usually it's the other way around.

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing as Drumbum.. That usually don't happen.. Unless err.. playing the hats wrong lol :lol:

lol....I think he means "bent up" as in, it's just bent really bad......not literally "up".....lol

BigTallG's right. I gave up and bought a new hi hat.:mean:

Once you've dented or cracked a cymbal there is really not much you can do about it. Except buy new ones.

What type of hats do you use? ... Sounds to me they are a little too thin for your playing style. I beat the bloody snot out of my kit (a la "bonham" style) and I have never bent my hats..

I agree with HB58.. once you crack/bend a cymbal you might as well as use it as a frizbee.
