Bugger me, old thread reincarnates.

OK, I took peeps advice and didn't clean the cymbals initially. I have to say that I have been very happy with the recorded sound of the hats (Paiste 2002 14" Heavy), ride (Zildjian 22" Earth Ride) and small crash (2002 13" crash). The larger crash (2002 18" Medium) came up a tad dark so I bit the bullet and used some of that fine-grade steel wool impregnated with...... whatever the fukk it is. The clean-up definately brightened that sucker up, although it was as mucky as hell to start with.

Thanks for the input guys!
