Thank you my good man. The whole world of drumming is dark, mysterious, miraculous, beautiful, and endlessly rewarding. Glad I found your blog. One more star in the galaxy. Peace, love and my very best!!! Man I wish I could show you my 24″ flat ride. It’s like a sting ray made of solid gold

I’ve scoured the web for info on cleaning the special hand hammered cymbals with the natural dark, raw finish. Ultimately, I called the drum shop manager at at Guitar Center San Jose. I’ve dealt with him on special part related issues and trust his expertise. He said the same rules apply. A good cymbal cleaner, properly used will do the trick. As with any cymbal, avoid using a cleaner or excessive buffing on the cymbal logo. This will help preserve the logo. In the Complete Drum Tuning DVD on drum maintenance, Mike Michalkow recommends a clean buffing cloth without cymbal cleaner. I’ve tried this, and it works; however, if you have a lot of crud on the cymbal, you’ll likely need a cleaner.

Hey have a ISTANBUL AGOP 24″ Hand Hammered Turkish Flat Ride and Zildjian Custom K 21″ Dry Ride. I love the way they look all dark and skanky but I want to make sure that I take good care of them in a hygenic sense. Would love feedback on this question. Also I just started a new blog http://drumtheory.blogspot.com I would love to know what you think. Thanks!!

What is the process for cleaning Hand Hammered Cymbals that are naturally dark, raw, unfinished?
