Fix a Cracked China???

[Whitechapel7]

for 30 bucks i would personally just turn it into an effect cymbal, as mentioned above. just dont weld/solder it . my friend did that to his Meinl 22" heavy bell ride, and it sounded like shit afterwords. and depending on the cymbals you use, i love the sound of my Meinl mb20 rock chinas, which Alex Lopez (Suicide Silence) and Ben Harclerode (Whitechapel) use. but they are kinda expensive. hope it helps

You might be able to braze it.

if you want to fuck your cymbal up, go for it. not to be a dick. it was what i thought once, and a friend actually did it.

Do you happen to recall what process was followed? If you preheat the cymbal, I dont foresee it being to terrible.

I finally put it on a kit. It sounds excellent actually, crack doesn't bother me other than the fact itll get worse. Once it breaks I'll just stack it!

I just tried Tobi's solution for my mini china AAX that cracked the same way. I would say it no longer sounds good but it's better than with the crack. I will use it as an effect cymbal but not as a china since this cymbal was only 14". I got this cracked cymbal for free so I didn't care trying it
