Best comment...lmao

🤣

😂😂😂😂😂

Good luck buddy! Let me know how it goes! 🤘🏽

My cymbals are more of a priority. haha

Hi Drew, I saw your response to this cymbal cleaning video, I have Zildjan A Custom cymbals as well and I'm thinking of trying Bar Keepers Friend but I'm really afraid of ruining the logo's ? and advice on this, how did yours come out ? Thank you

@@joeorciani9691 sore for the delay. I just saw your question. I recommend when the cymbal is wet w BKF solution to just let the mixture flow over the decals. The slightest pressure can start to peal them up

arcie legaspi Water must be free in their parts of the world... lol.. in Canada we all turn our taps off ASAP!

He could live out in the country and all you’re really paying for is to run the pump.

It's not like the water has disappeared by using it. Learn before you speak. It's all a big circle.

I bet he is not in California.

I live in Florida, not only are we surrounded by water on 3 sides, but it rains 80% of the summer months, we get flooded by hurricanes, and our state basically 'floats' on a giant sponge-like auquifer. So no, we don't usually worry about water. lol Maybe that's why everyone wants to move here!

Sam: "And I used ACTUAL HUMAN elbow grease to clean EVERY-SINGLE-ONE of them!!!!!!!!!" "AAAHHHH,,,,, AAAHHH,,, AAAHHHH!!!!!"""" Did I capture "Essence A La Kinison" right there? lol. ;)

One caution I always give when using BKF is to make sure you rinse the cymbal thoroughly. If you leave the oxalic acid residue, it will discolor the surface slightly.

Most all cleaners do if you scrubb hard enough. Best to clean around them. That being said, this cleaner effects logos less than other acidic cymbal cleaners.

Yes, it should.

Lol imagine the bathroom

It's worse. The guest bathroom looks brand new though. lol @@mattperkins7038

Hey don't worry about it my friend, one day you'll live in an area with running water too. Cheers!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

You are one in a million Steven.🎶

I'll have to check that out!

@A D If it was an extremely dirty cymbal you might find you haven't rinsed the cymbal off well enough and left some tarnish behind.

That’s the issue, you aren’t supposed to clean B8 Alloy Cymbals like Sabina B8, Zildjian ZBT, Paiute 2002, etc. apparently it destroys the coating or something. I learned the hard way. On my B20 Vintage Zildjians, I cleaned it once three years ago and still shiny although I redo every few months on some cymbals to get rid of fingerprints and stick marks.

B8 alloy is different than B20 alloy in that it has more iron content in the metal. As a result, cymbal companies 'finish' those cymbals with a lacquer coating to keep them from quickly oxidizing. If that layer is removed, you will see discoloration/oxidation. Since Bar Keepers Friend has a very mild abrasive, do not use this method on Sabian B8, Zildjian ZBT, or similar B8 bronze based cymbals.

You must be new to this game. Meanwhile touring musicians, session drummers and home players have been using this for years with ZERO issues. The fact you searched and replied to a cleaning cymbals video means you were looking how to do it yourself because you didn't know how. Good grief, go back to your car. These are cymbals, not paint.

@@kommi1974 Cymbals are finely tuned musical instruments. Skilled artisans spend a lot of time and use their skills to produce something that sounds great. By using abrasives to remove grime and dirt when soap and water should do, you are removing metal. If you also use the abrasive in a random manner it also erodes the fine lathed lines that produce the frequencies of the cymbal sound. I'd suggest most touring and pro drummers are already using brand new blemish free cymbals, that really only require a wipe down after each use. Far from being new to this game, I was cleaning cymbals in the 1960s, and have been ever since, and one thing I'd never suggest is Bar Keeper's Friend. It's no different to Cim or Vim which is another abrasive cleaner sold around the globe. As a drummer, I probably take more care of my cymbals than I do over my car paintwork.The car will last me 10 years at best, the cymbals, a lifetime. If it's showing metal on your cleaning cloth, it's far too harsh.

He didn't waste it. Why don't you spend your time going after Nestle who's draining the great lakes for free and selling it as bottled water. Everything in the universe is and always will be here. You're believing terrorist leftist BRAINWASHED people.

@@Budaboose you're fuckin nuts bro

Dude just shut up it's a damn cycle it goes right back into the water supply to get filtered and redistributed. The only thing he's wasting is his own money. Worry about yourself, that's beside the point of the video you fucking loser.

I'm too lazy to.

It drove me nuts the way the water was running the whole time he scrubbed the cymbal…😂

We don't have a problem with water shortages here in Florida unlike other areas of the world fortunately. Cheers!
