Do you have a cracked cymbal that you think that has had it's day? Here's an alternative to buying a brand new one.

The basic premise of what I do is to remove the area of cracked cymbal and finish and shape it so it eliminates any chance of the crack continuing. Feed back from drummers whose cymbals I've worked on has been very positive.

I charge €25 per crack or cracked area and €15 per crack after that, (on the same cymbal).

I'm a drummer myself and based in Central Dublin . If you'd like to see examples of my work or have any questions in general please get in touch.

Thanks,

Phil

Can you put up a photo of one you've cut there to see how close you cut it. Also what do you cut them with.

Thanks

I've just set up a facebook page. There are pics of before and after shots of cymbals I've worked on with plenty of discription.

Broken Heads: If you cut the outer edge off and the inner part out leaving an o-ring with a diameter of an inch, they make great haed dampeners.

Broken Sticks: Sharpen with pen knife and use to kill vampires.

how much for two?

 

[Drumboogie]

I guess €50 but I'd have to see the cymbals to make an exact quote.

Sure you're the 1st person to ask so I'll do two cymbals for €50 regardless of how many cracks. Just note though I'd have to see the cymbals to be sure that I can work on them. I've seen some funny cracks that may be beyond repair, like ones that run right up to the bell of the cymbal.

1/4in crack in a 18" 2002.
drill or grind?

 

[Drumboogie]

Whatever you think is best. If you want me to do it, it'll cost you €25.

Can I ask is it possible to fix a crack at the bell of a crash??

 

[Drumboogie]

......8 months later....you can indeed work on a cymbal that has a crack at the bell. I call these 'bell cracks' and I've done quite a few. It's amazing how little the cymbal is effected by removing the area around the cymbal.

I've a FB page with loads of picks of previous work including bell crack work. Put Cymbal Repair into the search bar when you are next logged in.

All the best,

Phil
