A crack like that is usually the end... sorry to say. People have tried and tried to repair this type of damage, but it will never be the same. Hang on to the bottom and start looking for an orphan top... I've hung on to discarded bottoms before and have found nice mates for them and they sounded great. Just takes time and patence. Good luck!

Hi,I had a Zildjian crack around the bell too.Everybody told me to play it and dont worry about it. Even a Cymbal master in England gave me the same advice.I did send a cymbal to be cleaned one time and they buffed all of the sound out of the cymbal,so I dont do that anymore as well.Good Luck with your hi-hats The 15" come up solo on EbA often.
