If you’re like me, then all you care about with your drums is one thing: playing them. You want to play and get going right away. But, just because you want to play all the time does not mean you can avoid taking proper care of your cymbals . While cleaning and tuning are not the most fun part about drumming , they are necessary if you want to keep playing your drums. If you want to keep playing , you have to keep cleaning! Preserving the cymbals for as long as you can will not only save you money in the long run, but also enhance the sound quality of your cymbals as they are currently. This will improve quality in recordings, music, and your practice overall.
