okay, so my 24" K has a small 3mm crack on the mounting hole and i need
opinions on whether i should install a brass grommet or file it away. i
think part of the problem could be because the cymbal is just so big
and heavy that it's cracking under it's own weight. vibrations from a
cymbal that big also gotta be a reason. now if i file it down, do i
just do that one section, or do i do the whole circumference of the
mounting hole to complensate for the newly formed keyhole? here are
some pictures and i apologize in advance for the poor lighting and
shitty photography.

That is what you get for buying mass produced slop.
