take it to a professional to get it repaired, because if you try to fix it it can completely ruin the unique shape of the cymbal

---------------------------

I've seen many cracked cymbals that are left "unrepaired". It is my belief that trying to weld it together would destroy it as a percussion instrument.

You can however, stop the attenuation of the crack with a process called "stop drilling". Simply drill a hole at the end of the crack. The hole should be about 1/16" and place it at the very end of the visible crack. This will distribute the stress and probably keep the crack from getting any longer. If it is cracked from the outside edge to the center hole already, it is of no use as a cymbal.
