MK1 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 i use my cracked cymbals for practice and rehearsals thus extending the life of my new ones!! so cracked cymbals do have a valid use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihategarybettman Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 They usually sound fine at first, but it does suck to watch a friend die as the crack spreads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathdrummer Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 You both are very right, they do (as said by MK1) have a valid use, and they don't sound bad... at first. so there are many different opinions for cracked cymbals -------------------- I know these people, they serve me food from McDonalds Don't touch my car! *wack!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totemspock Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I had a cracked ride-cymbal once that did not sound good. I took a saw and just "sawed the crack away" (don´t know how to put it). I think it sounds ok now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroslav Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I'm not a drummer... But if you drill a small hole at the end of the crack...it will not travel any further. (I have a nice studio kit...just picked up another bunch of Zildjian's for it, on eBay.) miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

joeq Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 drilling holes or cutting out the crack will usually work- for a while. Eventually a cracked cymbal will die. Long Island Drum Center is one store that accepts used or cracked cymbals for trade in. I think the story is that the cymbal manufacturers can melt them down again and that the high silver content means the metal has some real value.
