He is the one that when he knocks on your door, it's rhythmic and seems to get faster the longer he knocks.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

As to metal polish I like Flitz.


I used this at work on my bike, my car and to polish headlamps on cars.
It works fast and last quite a long time.

Hi WCjr: I was a drummer before I was a guitarist (and still am). The answer to your problem - Zildjian cymbal polish. Or Paiste cymbal polish. Other good brands are also available.

Cleaning dirty finger marks off cymbals is really, really boring. Do it in sections, working the cleaner with a cloth along the direction of the grooves and polishing seriously hard to get the stuff off after. Your fingers will get amazingly tired before you're done.

Alternatively. Even cheapo cymbals are pretty good quality these days. Privately, I suspect the ones you dug out would have to be very top range to make it worth the effort of cleaning 'em up rather than just buying some new ones. But it's your party...

Cheers - C
