Drums & Hardware Care and Maintenance Thread

[sonicassault]

A good quality dry paintbrush (the ones with really furry ends) for dusting.
Damp cloth then dry immediately with a clean, dry one.
Can't say much about chain maintenance coz the one I have is strap driven.
I don't really bother polishing though.

[harugrugrug]

It depends on the situation.

I used metal polish to clean up my demon drive,
I used pranella for everything and also feather duster.
For really dirty hardwares like stands with rust I use oxalic acid(pls back read hardware maintainance thread)
Some use coke also,and I found it a little sticky,hehe

Coke zero brad, walang sugar ) Pag wala, Pepsi Light, mas masarap.
I don't use pranela anymore, lint everywhere! Gamit ko yung bilog na trapo.

[harugrugrug]

Haha! Talaga brad? Coke zero? Di ba nakakacancer daw yun,hehe
Joke pero mas effective yun? Ayus yun ha,pranella ako,di maganda pagkagawa
Ng Basahan dito na nilalako,ang liliit,hehe

[inigo]

Moist bilog na trapo for dusting.
Bilog na trapo + WD40 to finish.

ewan ko lang kung mas effective, pero kung coke na rin lang gagamitin mo, mag-Zero ka na kasi walang sugar/corn syrup so di na malagkit )
Di nakakacancer yun, so far. Pero kung phenylketonuric ka, magdedegrade yung utak mo dahil dun sa aspartame. Yung sucralose daw may isang study na nakaka cancer nga. Splenda ang most common brand.
Dayo ka sa ibang bayan/probinsya baka mas malaki yung trapo dun 

[harugrugrug]

Haha,mejo mainstream kasi samin traps kaya nawala quality,hehe,masubukan nga coke zero.hehe
Bro inigo yan din ang Gawain ko hehe.

[peeves24]

easiest way to clean your drum finish and remove fingerprints on any surface

[infernal.battery]

[harugrugrug]

Babad mo yung mga lugs mo dun na hardware tapos aluminum foil for kaskas
O mas maganda oxalic acid,mag back read Ka.

[smurssshhh]

[harugrugrug]

Nice! Pasadahan mo na lang pranella yan after use at Kung isstore mo,hehe.

[sonicassault]

What's a good way to get the rust off the nuts, bolts, and washers that attach the lugs to the drum? I just finished repainting my 12" tom but I don't want to reassemble it yet coz all the said parts are really rusty. Mukhang Mars  .

[harugrugrug]

Ziplock ang soak it with wd40 for a few days,that would do,pero Kung Kung gusto mo mabilisan e
Oxalic acid,in small amount lang,few hours e Oks na yan.

oh wow! great job!

and to preserve your hardwork (and your now-like-brand-new snare), try applying a sealant bro.
you can apply Microtex Nanosil (meron in sachets) sa Ace hardware.

it prolongs the "shine" by giving it a protective seal

Hehe,ako nga ioxalic ko na Lang yung dw pedal screws,hehe,pero tsaka na,order pako spare parts.

iniisip ko kung yung Barkeeper's Friend mas ok bilhin, kasi para syang yung powder cleaner na parang Zim pero may oxalic acid. Ibababad ko yung screws sa solution. Naisip ko lang kasi sayang naman pwede ko na pakintabin lahat ng hardware ng drumset ko, kasama na yung buong banyo ko!

Meron ako nakita sa Galleria, sa Handyman, sa tabi ng metal polish. Hindi sya popular na brand dito sa pinas kaya konti lang yung stock (less than 10 ang nakita ko). Mga P250++ per can. Pang metal, glass, countertop, etc. Yung lagi sinasabi sa Drummerworld forums na wag na wag mo gagamitin sa cymbals mo
