YER SUPPOSSED TO CLEAN CYMBALS ????

Bar Keepers Friend...fraction of the price of regular cymbal cleaners, lasts longer and does just as good a job.

YER SUPPOSSED TO CLEAN CYMBALS ????

I’m with you, I’ll never clean another cymbal. I did this in my middle school days when I didn’t know any better. Cleaning them changes the tone, makes them brighter. Give me the grime and dirt, drys everything up real nice.

I basically just wipe fingerprints off the shiny ones. You know the ones that develop when muting a cymbal crash?

Ok, well I used to. Don't even do that anymore.

This stuff works wonders on splash cymbals under 4".

A guitar player told me that it works great on anything under 4". They would know!!!

I like Groove Juice and Bar Keeper's Friend. Both of them work very well. I like to keep my cymbals shiny. Peace and goodwill.

I found something better than Groove Juice and Bar Keeper's Friend. It is Oxi-Clean in the purple can. I can clean a whole set of cymbals in about 20 minutes. Afterward, they look band new, and the logos are not affected at all. Follow the directions on the can. Peace and goodwill.

Wow, that's quite a statement. Thanks for sharing Mark, I'll have to try it out.

I read somewhere just today that this drummer uses Finger Ease (the guitar string lubricant) to clean his cymbals. It got me thinking, if that lubricant works, I wonder what other lubricants might work.

Although I do not clean cymbals hardly ever. I may try this on a few. Thanks for the info!
If I had brilliant finish cymbals I may do this but almost all of mine are not and sound great just the way they are. I would definitely try this on for instance, B8’s.
