before we unleash metal, we hydrate


metal drummer goes surf

kyleg:
That is some serious gear there, man. That's a lot of premium cymbals.

In other news, I've updated my hats to Paiste signature 14" Sound Edge. It was love at first sight when I tried them out.

turtlspinr:
excellent acquisition. they're great hihats.

hopefully the salesperson who sold them to you warned you about cleaning them. In case he didn't, use ONLY the Paiste cleaner in the orange bottle, and use it sparingly. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES use any other cleaner like Groove Juice, Zims, the Zildjian cream or Sabian spray.....Paiste puts a finishing coat on their cymbals that will be taken off by any cleaner other than the Paiste stuff. I'd still even avoid that if possible. It's inevitable that your cymbals will get dirty, but with Paiste you should just be able to use a clean cloth to take off fingerprints because of the coating they apply....fingerprints and such should just wipe off. If not, try a slightly damp rag, not soaked, but just a little moist.

Failcake:
As much as I love all this talk of set drums... Where the corps drummers at?
