mam/sir, what can you say about cymbal polishers?
nakaka apekto ba yun sa tunog?
nakaka apekto ba yun sa cymbal at mag fafade pag pinolish ng pinolish?
ano magandang alternative way to maintain the cleanliness of the cymbals?
thanks

I've used cymbal cleaners before. Naalis nga yung dirt na dumikit sa cymbal, pero nabawasan din yung luster nito. Same brand of cymbal and cymbal cleaner ang ginamit ko so you can't say non-recommended yung cleaner. My advice is to cover your cymbals (or the whole kit for that matter) with a large cloth or something to reduce dirt build-up.

kasi sir i'm selling my zildjian cymbal polisher
kasi switch na ko sa sabian
mahusay ang mga polisher
parang naka tingin ka sa mirror sa kintab at makikita mo yung muka mo clearly ag nalinis ng maayos
pero ang tanong..
masisira ba ang cymbal?
mag babago ba tunog niya?
numinipis ba siya at onti onting natatanggal yung layer?
thanks

I don't think sisirain ng polisher ang cymbal, or babaguhin ang tunog. But it may reduce the cymbal's luster, based on my experience.

wahahaha yes i did say something like that (sobrang hithit ko yata sa car freshner yun)

glo is abrasive yes, nakakasira ng finish pero siguro psychological lang yung nagbabago tunog ng cymbal kapag binuff mo ng glo. kasi di ba pinapalo nga ng martilyo yung cymbal para magbago ng tunog? ano ba naman effect nung punasan mo lang sya di ba?

ang pinakaconcern lang about using glo e bumaba yung value ng cymbal kapag naisipan mong ibenta lalo na kung nabura na yung logo. pero drummer ka ba o businessman/collector? hehehe anyway, to each his own

ive been using GLO eversince... once a year kong ginagawa. and yeah.. ang pinagkaiba lang sa zildjian cleaner... its orange and its less harmful sa ilong... hehe

nickmar · « **Reply #307 on:** April 19, 2008, 03:51:11 PM »

hndi kaya matanggal yung mga logos ng cymbals pag zildjian ang ginamit? saka nakakaitim ba ng cymbals yun pag mnsan lang nilinis... for instance 1 a year lng...tnx

dimpen · « **Reply #308 on:** April 23, 2008, 10:54:56 AM »

pano po kaya matatanggal ung parang stain na libag sa cast cymbal? matagal na kase mga cymbals ko mga 80's pa. pero kahit linisin ko ng zildjian cymbal cleaner wa epek pa rin e. any advice na pwede ko gamitin na cleaner without affecting the cymbal's sound? gusto ko sna bumalik ung dating kulay nya. para mag open up din ung sound nya. help people! salamat!!

kibohead · « **Reply #309 on:** April 23, 2008, 11:20:45 AM »

sir gud day po. suggest ko po yung kerosene for brilliant finish...wd40 pwede sa traditional finish...rinse with soap after. Towel dry. I find these safer to logos. But im not that sure if they are as effective as cymbal cleaners when it comes to fingermark stains.

I have been using this with my cymbals for 3 yrs now. So far, i haven't seen any bad effects.

dimpen · « **Reply #310 on:** April 23, 2008, 12:43:12 PM »

sir kibohead, salamat sa advice. hehe astig!

nickmar · « **Reply #311 on:** June 11, 2008, 10:33:04 PM »

sir ask ko lang kung pwede gamitin yung zildjian cleaner sa sabian cymbals?

@rhanen28:

hindi naman nag-iba yung tunog ng cymbal mo bro? in my opinion, parang masayadong matapang yung mga brass cleaners na nabibili sa mga hardware shops para magamit sa cymbals.

@rastah:

"patina" yung tawag sa green stuff na yun. and sa experience ko nagkakaron ng ganun sa cymbals pag napatakan ng tubig or kahit anong liquid (including pawis) and hindi agad napunasan.

warm water and powdered soap lang gamit ko pag naglilinis ng cymbals. yung soft sponge yung gamit ko pang-apply ng soapwater mixture sa cymbals tapos circular motion yung paglinis ko. pinupunasan at pinapatuyo ko agad right after cleaning.

I once used a Zildjian Cymbal Cleaner on a Sabian AA Rocktagon cymbal, and the result is a clean shine with no side effects.

kimpoy19 · « **Reply #321 on:** June 12, 2008, 09:47:32 PM »

sinubukan ko ung nilagang cymbals. okey naman siya tapos ko patuyuin yun, nilagyan ko na ng polisher. mas maganda ung pagkaka kintab.
