sa brilliant finish dapat talaga linisin, kaso tamad lng ako maglinis..

I prefer uncleaned cymbals. I am a fan of dirty cymbals with patina especially the hammering of the rides. I just wipe all my pies from time to time; it's a great way to preserve their logos as well.

Due to the uncertanties of finding the "appropriate" cleaning method/technique, my cymbals ended up as uncleaned. I'm starting to like the aged look...

Parang mas gaganda ang tunog ng cymbals pag hindi nalilinisan....

Gunk = changes tone.
Cleaning gunk = changes tone (for better or worse; depends on your ears)

2nd hand lang yung cymbals ko nung nabili ko kaya nung umpisa madalas ko siya nililinis
pero sa ngayon kapag may gig na lang
minsan hindi pa
importante din se na malinis at magandang tingnan ang mga gamit mo

may kakilala akong may nagmamay-ari ng k dark custom set na zidjian. ung medium ride nya eh hindi niya nililinis because may gusto niya yung dark and heavy sound for jazz musics pero yung hats and crash niya lang yung nililinis (not totally bright). It's a very nice combination for that set. sa ngayon, nagpalit siya ng hats, ginawa niyang A custom para may lighter sound.

In my part naman, may gusto ko yung nililinis esp sa crash ang high hats, gusto ko kasing mejo angat at mas clean ang tunog. yung sa ride naman, nalinis ku na yun kaso 1tym pa lang. hehe.. mas clean yung naging tunog at mas humaba yung vibration. hehe
