Ive tried pro mark OK sya!!! pero kung walang budget e di ung mga lumang car wax na nasa garahe lang... Ok sya for brilliant finishes! Umarbor nlang ng lumang car wax kung kanino man kung wala sa garahe...

peeves24 · « **Reply #28 on:** July 26, 2006, 09:01:23 PM »

o nga no, car wax di ko pa na try to a. may protective coating pa

gud idea!

ciro · « **Reply #29 on:** July 26, 2006, 09:22:33 PM »

Na try ko na car wax sa brilliant finish, A custom and B8 pro... tangal lahat ng dumi, kailangan mo lang ng maraming basahan... tpos natangal ung B8 pro na logo ko... small price to pay to restore a 2nd hand battered cymbal..

punas punas lang din ako... altho twice ko na nilinis gamit ang Joy paste kasi yun ang time na bebenta ko isang cymbal ko, sinabay ko na lahat.

yung K custom dark ride.. yun ang sobrang dumihin! hirap linisin pero maganda naman tignan

sakin i use mc cleaner sa cymbals and hardwares ko. ok naman siya lalo sa mga stands talagang kikintab siya. try ko din yung isang paglinis sa isang thread dito yung mainit na tubig & baking soda. sana effective

nahihiya akong paluin ang malinis na cymbal e kaya hinahayaan ko lang dumumi sila. naka setup lang sa kit, punas ng dry basahan once a month (kung sinipag ako)

i polish them only during new year's day and then let them rot again till next year

sir peeves, we treat cymbals EXACTLY the same....
clean once a year.
and let rot until next year.
hehehehe

hey guys,

concerned talaga ako sa technique ko sa pagtama ng cymbals, specifically the crash. may mga tips ba kayo na pede i-share sa tamang pagpalo dun sa crash? i've already broken 2 cymbals:

planet z 16" crash
zbt 16" crash

ngaun, nakakuha na ako ng pera and nakabili panibagong crash. its a K dark thin crash. talgang malaking pera ang nagastos ko dito kaya kelangan ko na tlga alagaan ito ng napakabuti.
paki share naman ng mga tips.

tnx sa lahat!

EDIT: onga pala, joke lang dun sa ako nagbayad, parents ko ang bumili nito. =) yung detailed story ay nasa ibang thread, yung "b8's or xs20's?" na topic. hehehe.

Avoid metal-to-metal contact
Place a sturdy sleeve around the cymbal tilter rod when mounting your cymbals to prevent center hole deformation and cracking. Always use top and bottom felts.
(Cymbals can be damaged if not mounted correctly on the stand)

Keep it loose
Do not over-tighten the wing nut. A clamped cymbal will not vibrate freely and often sounds chocked. For hi-hats, keep the clutch medium-tight so that the top cymbal moves freely.

Play it right.
Avoid striking cymbals directly on their edge. Crash cymbals, especially, should be hit with a glancing blow, a little off center. Striking with a slight twist of the wrist also helps avoid breakage and allows crash cymbals to “open up”

Protect your investment
Always carry your cymbals in a padded bag or a protective cymbal case
Store your cymbals immediately whenever you break down your drum set
Wrap the cymbals separately with a piece of cloth when not in use to protect their edges and surfaces; be especially careful of the bottom edge.
Keep your cymbal away from extreme cold or heat

All Of the Above !

I play in a Metal band. I use an 18" K Custom Dark Crash as my Main Crash. and I Crash-Ride it to hell. Its been with me for 2 years. No Cracks. No Dings.

Its the way you play I believe, even weight plays very little difference. I crash ride my 10" A Custom Splash too

You need to put some swish into it. Don't hammer it down. Same goes for drumheads. Play over the surface, not through it.

Omnicloud7, the Planet Z & ZBT cymbals that you broke are not designed to be highly durable. So, I'm not really surprised that it got worn out.

peeves24 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 09, 2006, 09:16:52 AM »

plus im sure you bang the living daylights out of them to open up the sound

Eni · « **Reply #46 on:** August 09, 2006, 06:39:32 PM »

aba eh,naubusan na ko ng sasabihin,
Tama lahat sila !

omnicloud7 · « **Reply #47 on:** August 09, 2006, 10:48:24 PM »

hey guys thanks sobra sa mga replies.

hihi tanong lang, anong meaning nung put some swish? hehehe, mejo mahina talaga ako when it comes to terms. sorry!

oh yah,

OT question: tinatry kong tanggalin yung parang bar code na sticker sa ilalim nung cymbal, sa tingin ko ang tagal ng nakadikit nung sticker na yun kasi may mga adhesives na nakadikit tapos ayaw pa talaga matanggal, ano masasuggest niyo na pangtanggal dito? =)

thanks ulit sa lahat, i really appreciate the advices.

legnacilyz · « **Reply #48 on:** August 10, 2006, 12:17:36 AM »

try rubbing it with baby oil and ur finger.. hiludin mo..
swish is somethin like hitting it with swaying motion in ur arms.. tama po ba mga sir?

cheers!

Swish... Tama si legnacilyz. Put some swaying motion into it.

Inspired by the Moeller technique & Freddie Gruber, play drums with a graceful circular motion instead of a stiff linear motion.

Instead of boxing with the drums, dance with it.
