| my zildjian A & K series stuff.. i NEVER clean except my new beat hats (only when im going to be tracking)
my paiste stuff onthe other hand... it stays spotless.. and as was said earlier.. i tape over the lables and serial numbers that way if i ever wanted to sell i could have proof of what they were. but i like the paistes because of there sterile bright sound and thats why i own them.. i want a bright sound so i keep them clean.
i do have a set of Paiste traditional series hats that i liek to keep dirty.. i clean the top hat and leave the bottom one dirty. gives it just enough brightness for my liking |
