ok. what cymbal cleaner do u recommend? my cymbals are sabian B8s.
nothing too expensive pls. hehehe

pmack · « **Reply #101 on:** November 15, 2006, 07:20:20 PM »

so far, yung zildjian nasa 450-500 ata. di ko sure.
pero ang alam ko mas mahal ang groove juice o cymbal cleaner ng sabian.
DI KO LANG SURE.
search mo bro kasi may topic na medyo informative about cymbal cleaners dati eh. natabunan lang yun.

manson · « **Reply #102 on:** November 15, 2006, 07:45:53 PM »

ya the sabians are around 700 i thnk.

manson · « **Reply #103 on:** November 15, 2006, 07:56:37 PM »

its ok to use zildijan cleaners on sabians?

pmack · « **Reply #104 on:** November 15, 2006, 07:59:48 PM »

ayun...
di pa kasi ako nakakasubok ng iba, yung sa zildjian pa lang kaya i don't have an opinion about the other brands...
try mo lang zildjian kung interested ka.. pero suggest ko dun ka kung saan may experience ka na and nasiyahan ka naman...

peace!

i think, yes... pareho lang naman cymbals and halos pareho ng metals...
so i think, oo pwede most probably...
kung medyo unsure mga sagot ko, ayoko lang masisi..

NO! pao...
payo ko wag mo gamitin ang zildjian cleaner sa sabian cymbals mo..
date kasi balak kong bumili ng zildjian cleaner eh. tinanong ko dun sa tindero if pwede ang zildjian cleaner sa sabian cymbals ko...
hindi ako pinagbilhan.. kung gusto niya lang makabenta sana binentahan niya ako, pero mas inisip niya yung cymbals kaya hindi niya ko pinagbilhan.....

ok. so sabian cleaners instead?
but for sure its going to make my cymbals nice and shinny?

I recently cleaned my good friend's prized 90's model Sabian AA Rocktagon cymbal using a Zildjian Cymbal Cleaner, and it produced wonderful results.

Regarding the Pro-Mark Groove Juice... I also tried that, and I find its formula too strong for cymbals (read two of my recent blogs for my story hehe). The Groove Juice is more recommended for hardware.

play safe:

zildjian cymbal cleaner---> zildjian cymbals
sabian cymbal cleaner---> sabian cymbals
paiste cymbal cleaner---> paiste cymbals

so on and so forth.

yeah, hehehe....
my bad...
i just thought baka pwede since they're all cymbals naman, hindi pala...
tama, play safe... its not like we could just replace cymbals as easy like that...

jun_BALARAW · « **Reply #113 on:** November 16, 2006, 11:47:17 AM »

malay mo dahil sa competition ng zildjian at sabian.. eh ginawa ang zildjian cleaner na pag pinahid sa sabian eh malulusaw ang bakal.. (malay mo lang magkalaban eh hehehe)

yan nga yung sabi ni mod drumster eh.

apir!

i use kerosene. ung nabibili sa shell 45 per liter ata...oks yun. hehe it preserves the finish kasi and it is not that sensitive to logos, basta't padaanan lang. Mura pa.

may pics ka ng cymbals mo sir kibohead?
gusto ko lang makita kung ano intsura nila...
iteresado ako sa kerosene panglinis ng cymbals..
thanks!

Try this: eraser! oo totoo ginagamet ko yan sa mga recent finger prints... tapos iwax mo ng car wax! tangal ang ganda pa ng shine!

if all of my cheap tricks fail then use promark groove jiuce but do not follow thier instructions, spray it in a dry cloth and then wipe. do this repeatedly. I also tried zildjian cream cleaner and I think I like it better!

clean cymbals are better sounding ones... I have a friend who has the same model cymbal but his is the dirty one and it sounded dull to me, but darker...

si bagets sobrang linis ng cymbals nya parang bago! sax cleaner daw gamit. (if anyone knows where to buy this pls post it) tinanong ko di alam ni bagets kung saan binili kasi bigay lang yun sa kanya...

whoo... sori ang dami ko nasabi, nasobrahan lang sa cape...

killuaxp · « **Reply #118 on:** November 17, 2006, 12:52:45 AM »

sorry bro, but i have to disagree on this one.
i think it's all personal taste.
may mga cymbals ako na di ko nililinis and nung nilinis ko nadismaya ako. ngayon medyo bumabalik pa lang yung sound characteristics niya bago ko nilinis.
yung ibang cymbals ko naman kailangan kong linisin para makuha yung gusto kong sound.
i think it's all preference.

Yung mga jazz drummers gusto talagang madumi yung mga K nila. Doon kasi lumalabas yung warm tone/quick decay e.

At oo, effective na panglinis ang kerosene, kaso ang sakit sa ilong.

I once tried using Turtle Wax Upholstery cleaner to take off the stubborn dirt and followed it up with Turtle wax Chrome Polisher. It gave me good results. Ang hirap kasi tanggalin nung black film when you use the Zildjian cymbals cleaner.

Try it in small sections at a time to check if it will create a negative reaction. Sinubukan ko muna sa Scimitar before trying it at my A and K series.

Tip lang. Use the 3M Microfibre cloth.

pmack · « **Reply #122 on:** November 19, 2006, 02:00:06 PM »

naiintriga ako sa kerosene.
meron ba ditong nakasubok nito panglinis ng cymbals?
pwede kayo magpost ng pics?
ang galing murang-mura kasi eh.
hehehe....

Gep · « **Reply #123 on:** November 20, 2006, 10:29:10 AM »

Pao check mo yung litrato nung cymbals ko. Kerosene ang ginamit ko.

Pero nag-apply na ako ng Zildjian cleaner e hehe.
