A scratch usually won't affect a cymbals sound unless it's really deep or messes up the tonal grooves.

If the scratches do "mess" with the sound I think it can be a good thing at times. You have to clean your cymbals in this case, but it can add a uniqueness to the sound.
I really wish that we could actually show the pictures in here...
I dont know what you guys think. But i dont like cymbals that ring out forever. And most are hammered in Different Densitys in different parts of the cymbal to stop this. Scratches would shorten the systain of the cymbal. So I personaly would think big scratches would possibly make them sound better.
If that was the case I would just get some MoonGel or a small mute pad to shorten the ring length.Originally Posted by Stevo42w

Thinner cymals also ring for a shorter amount of time.
I personally like to actually hear the cymbal so I play on some big thick mf's
i have really thick cymbals i got tired of the ringing so a thin coat of paint and bango problem solved

Hm muting is the professional way. But with a discount on scratches doing the job! WHY NOT! :> :P
