You should drill a hole at the end of the crack to stop it from getting worse.

Is the other end of the crack at the edge of the cymbal?
Drill a hole at the end of the crack and it should stop it from spreading inward.
Ok here is the best i could do, dont know if u can tell anything from this or not cause i couldnt get away from the glare

yeah i prolly will end up doing that, when i get the money. But for now i am gonna try drilling it, and if i screw it up, not to big of a deal, not like i can hurt it any worse, if i do get a new cymbal, im looking at prolly A custom medium crash, 16in. what do u think about those

bummer dude, don't replace with another ZBT though, replace with a pro level if you are going to replace it.
yeah thats what i said in the last post, i am gonna replace it with an A custom if i do, but can someone tell me how big to drill the hole

Justin, I haven't cracked a cymbal yet, so I can't help you with drilling advice. I can suggest you consider how you hit your cymbals before you get the next one. If you hit straight on, you might crack another cymbal. The best technique for cymbals is to strike with a glancing strike. You won't be creating excessive stress on the cymbal that way.

when u say straight on, exactly what do u mean?

Just drill your hole large enough to stop the crack. I would say only slightly larger than the widest spot on the crack and drill it at the very end of the crack to stop the progression.
yeah i did that, now back to pastor Bob's comment, exactly how should i hit my cymbal in a way that wont cause it to break i guess.

makes sense now when i heard you drilled a hole in the cymbal
PB- hitting it straight on... do you mean like, wailing that one cymbal. and glancing strike, is that just a regular hit, enough to get the accent of the note, but not over do it?
if women don't find you handsome.
they should atleast find you handy.
Cut a wedge from it with tin snips...no big deal.
Exactly Nik. With a drum, you strike straight into the head, but with a cymbal you want to strike it with a slightly sideways motion. When you strike a cymbal straight on, all the energy is focused on the point of impact. But if you use a glancing (slight sideward) motion, the energy is absorbed over a wider area of the cymbal and there will be less likelihood of cracking. And don't worry, because you'll still get a great sound.
