Cymbal Damage Help

i got a K custom 16' dark crash from my friend about a year ago and i cracked it about 3 months ago

Does zildjian do refunds?

I think your out of luck with a refund bud. There are however a bunch of sites out on the web that give how-to advice on how to repair or have cymbals repaired if the crack isn't that bad. Good luck!

I doubt if any manufacturer is going to Refund or honor Warranty on anything purchased in a secondary market. Just curious, though...I also have a K 16" med. Thin Dark Crash. I play the heck out of it with a big band and cannot imagine ever cracking it. How did you manage to do that?

Drill a small hole at the end of the crack and try to salvage it!

I Haven't Cracked A Cymbal In Over 30 Years...!!!!
There Must Be Some Heavy Hitters Out There Frank...
Old Guys Like US Must "Carress" Our Cymbals More Frequently I Guess

I'm not sure the crack is small not even half an inch i just dont want it to get worse. I dont know how it cracked it dont keep it tight on the stand or really even hit it hard.
