Cleaning cymbals properly

Occasionally it's necessary to clean the cymbals of your drum kit. After all, deposits can attack the metal over time. Various cymbal manufacturers have developed cleaners and polishes that remove fingerprints and other build-up and polish the surface. In the video you can see the results of four different cleaners so you can judge their cleaning effect for yourself. Also, you shouldn't just follow the instructions — make sure to heed the notes at the end of the video. The cleaners aren't suitable for all cymbals; for example, you'd damage the surface of vintage cymbals.
