[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 420461, member: 15636"] FWIW when I played percussion instruments, one of my mentors 'fixed' a few cracked cymbals (turned from a brass alloy) for us. He'd use a 3/32" sized drill to no bigger than 1/8", never saw any bigger hole. He too was also a shooter and used a liquid cold blue to find the end of the crack and he would drill just past that. We never had a repaired cymbal re-crack ... But again, if this were mine ... I'd patch and monitor it ... but that's me. [/QUOTE]
