I clean all the plastic and rubber parts with the same Car Dashboard UV protector liquid or wax, which gives me very good results.

"303 Aerospace Protectant" - this is the single best thing to clean the rubber cymbals. My very expensive kit was looking a little worse for wear, and I googled what would be best to clean them. After literally wiping it on and wiping it off they looked brand new again. I do it every month or so, and every time they go from having all the stick marks to perfectly new again. Best product I've ever been told to use.

@rupe82 7 месяцев назад

This is always a good idea to do when selling a kit. So many people sell their electronic kits without cleaning them and it can affect resale value.

@Equinox601 5 месяцев назад

But if you know how to grade a V-cymbal (in terms of rubber degradation and asking the seller to confirm choke function) then this allows you to pick up some great deals!

@ZaxDrumsandGolf 2 года назад

I've used tire spray for the cymbals and my rubber pads only a little bit though!! I then rub them off with towel!!

@eDrumsInANutshell 2 года назад

I just use a car cockpit spray or any other plastic cleaner. I am in Germany 🇩🇪 I grabbed that Nigrin stuff. The 🇺🇸 guys should try that Chemical Guys stuff. Years ago I cleaned a rather old cockpit with that chemical guys natural shine. Awesome. What do you use for your cars in 🇬🇧? Or sometimes I just use the WD-40 silicone lubricant. For many plastic parts...

@bobvanster Год назад

Hey I picked up 2 PD 85's to expand my Alesis strike by splitting with 2 Tom's on a quick test seems to work well. The pads are not quite mint but can be with some cleaning. Using the dishwasher method could the heat from washing or drying wreck the heads?

@captiandarwin 2 года назад

For protection I use shower kaps to keep it clean as well as the drum heads By the caps at the dollar store. Where were the good for dust.

I used a Waterless Car Cleaner spray you can get ready available at your local autoshop for my cymbals and drum parts, module etc. Also works on your car as it saves you wasting water!

@@jezusmylord Yeah, it was a cool album for sure. Just wish the recording quality wasn't such trash, especially on the day that never comes. Sounds like my speakers are blown everytime that song starts getting heavy with the drums coming. I don't know how they let that slide, it's like they didn't even listen to it after it got mastered. At least we have the Rock band remastered version, sounds so much better.

303 say they don’t do the Aerospace anymore. I have their ‘updated’ product in a blue bottle - not labelled Aerospace, and it seems fine.

@TheeDrumWorkshop 2 года назад

Interesting! I wasn't aware of that, will have to have a look. Cheers!

@kushking420 11 месяцев назад

My mesh heads have never been black from dust or dirt (same heads for 4 years), and I'm a heavy hitter. I am just curious how these mesh heads are black from dirt. Even my coated remo heads on my acoustic set don't get that black, thank you for the video for the cymbals btw. Didn't want to come off harsh, love your videos

@TheeDrumWorkshop 11 месяцев назад

No worries! It's not to do with hitting hard, the marks are transferred from the rubber parts of my kit via the sticks. I'm not 100% sure what's causing it, to be honest! It didn't really used to be an issue so maybe I'm not buffing the 303 out well enough or something and there's a residue build-up or dust is sticking to it. I'll need to look into it!

@edgarsousa6630 2 года назад

Hi there, I was kind of afraid to clean the cymbals, but you've convinced me. Thanks I would like to know your opinion on old Roland modules. Would you say that td9 and td11 are still worth it? What would be the maximum money value you would give those?

@TheeDrumWorkshop 2 года назад

Hope you're happy with the results! To be honest, I can't really say - I've not used either of those modules and am not really sure what the current market prices are, sorry.

@javierserranoyoutube 2 года назад

@Edgar Sousa I got me a used td-11 drum set in the past 2 months. It's a 5-piece kit and it came with hi-hat, ride and 2 crashes. It is plenty for me. I do not play the bar circuit but I could with this kit. I purchased the drum-tec acoustic package for $36, making the td-11 sound amazing. The itself was $850.

@matwashington2784 6 месяцев назад

I have a TD-9 and I love it, try to get the V2 if possible, you get 100 kits as well as USB playback.

@TheeDrumWorkshop 2 года назад

It's not often I polish up the metal parts, but Brasso seems to work well when I have done!

@brittanycrelia3719 2 года назад

Can you use disinfecting wipes to clean them?

@TheeDrumWorkshop 2 года назад

I probably wouldn't. I don't know for sure but it could dry out the rubber. If you just want to wipe them down, I think a damp cloth is probably the safest and make sure to dry it off well with another dry cloth.

I’ve also cleaned my mesh heads with soapy water and they come up like new, and… I’ll probably get banned from owning electronic drums for saying this.. but I’ve used glass cleaner and a clean microfibre cloth to clean my cymbals for the past two years and it works perfectly, and also seems to retain the deep black shine for very long periods 🤘🎵🎶

@TheeDrumWorkshop 2 года назад

Interesting! I hope it doesn't dry the rubber out over time, but if it seems to be working, fair enough! I'm not an expert on what different products do to rubber, I just know that 303 has worked well for me and has been highly recommended!

what they can get wet?

@Gamer-kn7fi 2 месяца назад

Well you shouldn't through them into a water but a bit of water on the outside of the cymbals shouldnt do anything there isn't much electronics in there and all that's there is under the rubber and should not get in contact with the water that way
