Our line's cymbals are really gross...if you practice with them for 10 minutes your pants will be black if they touch them...we need some HEAVY DUTY cymbal cleaner or some new cymbals!

Groove juice works well but since our pit just cleaned the whole entire collection of cymbals that we had it took us a really long time. Of course ours hadn't been cleaned for about 3 years also.

Basically you get another cleaning spray just like groove juice but cheaper. Its called cymbal clean. Some small music stores might have it so check it. The bottle is bigger than the usual groove juice bottle and is around 6 to 7 dollars.


By the way I can't chew gum since well in band rehersals is not allowed or during band class, and I have a dentist who does not want me to chew gum since it loosens up your teeth. That's why I never use peanut butter to take out gum out of my hair.

I am very tired of brasso leaving black marks on my school shirts so , I will use peanut butter tonight and toothpaste tommorow , thanks guys !

ya, me to. But if peanut butter would work I'd say go for it. However after I got done I would dump some kind of colonge or good smelling oil. Hey, now that I think of it, maybe something like vegtable oil or Crisco would do the job. Also if it were me I'd put a layer of Turtle Wax on it all and buff it up, just like you would a car. But I don't play cymbals so I won't worry about it.

Some girl on our cymbal line discovered that nail polish remover works great for cleaning the Monkey Man off of cymbals. We still hav'nt tried that peanut butter though.

try simple green like windex but way stronger. not abrasive and all that other good stuff.

I hope you were being sarcastic becuase that made no point towards what middle aged man told you. If peanut butter works, then it works. I agree that you shouldn't use brasso. It shouldn't be used on cymbals, we use a thing called blue magic. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but i hope the cym tech knows whats she's doing. I'll tell them about the peanut butter thing.

this one may sound crazy but ketchup works on cymbals.or u could use just a tomato.

Yea use tomatoes, they taste like crap, no sense wasting good ketchup.

We clean our cymbals with Liquid Metal Polish.. it comes in a blue bottle and you can buy it at Wal-Mart. I recommend that stuff, it's great.
