Broken Cymbals...

I've had my drum set for 3-4 years now i've just gotten my 7th cymbal... but its only going to be my 5th active cymbal at the moment...
The reason why I only have 5 cymbals on my set is a pretty good reason, the other two are totally broken...
The first one is a 10" splash from the ZBT series...
The second one is a 16" EFX cymbal from the ZHT series, both are made by Zildjian... It is totally cracked...
Oh, and the splash, I tried to fix it by melting it in chemistry class. i get to bring it back wednesday, November 20th i think it is...
But we will try to melt some bronze to it... i can't get a refund for these cymbals...
Some suggest i should switch to a different company... but I don't want to...

I think by "switch to a different company" they mean firefox instead of IE :D

(a pun from a previous post about bashing cymbols because IE is slow)

The second one broke, obviously. But what DID you do to the first? Hit it too often AND caught it on fire?

That's the Splash, the one he melted in Chemistry. Heh.

Yeah, gonna melt it tomorrow *rubs hands together with evil laugh in anticipation of the fun in Chemistry...* I lot my cymbals, i take very good care of them, but they still break...
I will upload a picture on my website and link to it...
*When i find time...*
