Just a bit of fun, nothing too serious. No theme as such, experiments, short films and clips, hope you enjoy the visit and some of the videos we have uploaded.
Or just use Bar Keepers Friend. Apply like the ketchup. Cheaper also! I just did a set of hi-hats and it took me less than 10 mins... and they were pretty tarnished, too.
I use something called 'Twinkle Copper Cleaner'. It is a non-abrasive paste type product you simply wash off the cymbal with warm water, apply the paste in a thin even layer, wait a couple of minutes, then wash it off with warm water and dry the cymbal completely. There is a foam applicator included which can be used to lightly scrub the cymbal as the material is applied. This material works excellent with both sheet B8 and cast type B20 cymbals. It will not remove printed logos and since it is non-abrasive no damage to surface of cymbal and seems to leave a bit of protection on the metal. It will remove dirt, oxidation, and finger prints. Keeps my cymbals nice and shiny.
Ketchup only works on low budget beginner cymbals like 1000, 201, 302, 402, 502 series' cymbals. It doesn't work very well either. Ketchup does not works even less on intermediate cymbals like the 2000, Alpha, 802, 900, PST8 series'. It absolutely does not work on more affordable professional tier cymbals like the 2002, Rude, 3000 and Signature Precision Series'. Do not, I mean DO NOT put Ketchup on high line PROFESSIONAL cymbals like the Signature Series, Signature Reflector, Signature Traditionals, Signature Dark Energy, Formula 602, Formula 602 Modern Essentials, Sound Formula, Sound Creation, etc!!!!!!! If I see another cymbal stained with a red film in going to snap!!! I've found $400 to $500 cymbals for $200 to $250 that were in excellent condition once I took an hour or two to scrub the tomatoe stains off of them with lemon juice and bronze cleaner. The most mindless shit ever. Someone spends $350 on a cymbal, but they won't clean it with a proper cleaner... They grab some cheap crap out of their fridge and think it's a cool "hack". It makes me hit psychotic levels of anger.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 THE ONLY THING HE DIDN'T TRY WAS WHALE SPEARM AND MARLBORO CIGARETTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Which by the way, wouldn't have maaaa-turrrd, yeah!! Naught a bleedin' bit, you cheeky baaaas-turd!!) But, honestly... I would suggest that when he grows up and buys some real cymbals, that he won't try using a "Summers Eve" Vinegar douche and goat snot!!! OOOIIIIIYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!😀😃😄😁😆🤣😂🤪🤢🤮🤧 Jesus Mate, stop being so bloody lazy!!!! OR.... the next thing you know, you'll be stealing your mum's Volkswagen, pulling the engine out, and fabricating a way to have that play drums for you, instead of you!!!
The ketchup may work a bit better the Coke, but 30% Lemon Juice, & the rest water works MUCH better. Just did that and was very surprised at the results. (& less of a smell than ketchup and/or vinegar). Can even cut a lemon in half and wipe it down with the lemon itself. Then rinse & dry off thoroughly.
Does anyone know what size bottom bracket I need just got the same bike given to me by a mates just need a bottom bracket and in not sure what size I need I'm not sure if it'd 68x118
Got 4 rubber pads with mine, got no idea what they are for? I thought they would go in the jaws but they don't. Maybe to wrap around the frame? Dunno but a quick set up and fit of the bike I'm impressed with it already. Money well spent 👍👍
The thing is Paiste and many cymbals are clear coated, so until you buff through the clear coat, not much will change. You clean off the finger prints. One through the clear coat, you can buff, but B8 alloy will tarnish brownish black. B20 retains a nice look with occasional touch up.
There's videos on RU-vid of folks cleaning rust off of automotive chrome using DIET COKE and aluminum foil with really cool results. Could there be a connection between that method and yours? Have you checked out the diet coke? Hmmm. Try it on some rusty hardware sometime!
Paiste 101's are not great! definitely made for novices who just need something cheap to whack to get them started. I had a pair of 101 hi Hats in the 80's, and the damn things used to turn inside out if you tried to rock on them! :D But to say all Paiste cymbals are for beginners is a complete joke and only shows your ignorance I'm afraid! 2002's are some of the nicest cymbals I've ever played. Those babies just sing with the slightest touch. I currently have a set of PST7's which are said to be very close to 2002's only machine finished as opposed to hand finished I believe? They are very nice cymbals for not a lot of money. Paiste make great pro cymbals,...they just also, like all other manufacturers, happen to cater for entry level too ;)
