    Default Cymbal cleaning!

    Hi, I am new! I picked up drumming two weeks ago. I got my drum kit on June 9th. And I bet your thinking,
    "Well then how could your cymbals be dirty?!" Well, my grandfather gave me a two-year-old drum kit for my birthday. And I really need help I don't want to ruin them!! Oh and I am ten years old.

    Yea, get the zildjian polish, wet your cymbal, put some polish on the rag, and wipe with the grooves, dont rub

    The cleaner is basically a acid that eats away a layer of the cymbal, leaving the bright shining alloy underneith, if you rub, youll rub to much away on the dirt marks, completely changing the sound of the cymbal, wipe along the grooves

    I dont think brasso would work with bronze cymbals, brass cymbals definatly, but bronze cymbals, brasso would probably jack them up

    Well it's probably best that you don't post a picture because you are 10...... You are by far, the youngest drummer I've seen on here. This is a safe place to be.......... Don't go wondering off now
