In this video I'm showing you how I clean my cymbals using Brasso and White Spirits. There are less 'harsh' methods of cleaning cymbals but I find this works well for really tarnished ones - just be careful around the logo. In this example I'm cleaning 2 cymbals - a Zildjian 17" K Custom Hybrid China and a 10" Zildjian splash that I can't for the life of me remember the model of! I think it's an Edge.

I tried cleaning my cymbals with my own Brasso method but realised its to much time-taking and requires so much energy. Your video is very helpful. Thanks for every detail and information you provided. I can't wait to try this on my left out cymbals today with your method. You earned a sub! Keep it up...

Excellent video thank you! I'm in the middle of cleaning some vintage Amati hats with Brasso. I didn't think about using white spirit to finish the job. Will do now. Cheers. :-)

Great work. I found that your helpful video works. My cymbals have come up like new and you've earned a well deserved 'like'.

In the last part of the video, the high speed clean, it's brasso then spirits then a dry rag for the last bit? About to clean my sabian XS20, not fussed about the logo because I don't like it anyway

Yup, Brasso for the main clean and polish, White Spirits to get the residue off and dry rag for the final polish.

What music are you listening to in the background? I love Hammond Music like that and haven't been able to locate proper artists or a genre. Thanks and nice work on the cymbals, I find this method also works the best.

Yes - don't clean them! :-) Depends on the cymbal but I wouldn't advise using polish on a natural finish. Perhaps very mild soapy warm water to get finger marks off and a thorough dry afterwards.

Is there a reason for using white spirit after the polish? Is it not better to use a cleaner first then polish? Just asking, have no idea

I find the white spirits can draw dirt out of the tiny grooves and leaves an even final look. Otherwise you can be in a never-ending cycle with the pollish.

Can I use white vinegar instead of the white spirits

that 'muck' is oxide from the cymbal. In theory if you keep polishing with a cleaner you'll eventually rub right through. :o

Warning to any drummers, using Brasso is not a good idea. . It's far too abrasive, just look at how much metal is on the cloth when you use it. It also flattens, softens and changes the shape of the tonal grooves. Of course it will clean the dirtiest of cymbals, but at a cost. Learn to live with the tarnished cymbals, keep them clean with standard washing-up liquid to remove loose dirt and grease. Don't waste your money on branded cymbals cleaners, they are now only cymbal polish. Legislation has made the use of old style cymbal cleaners impossible. NEVER use Brasso on new cymbals with protective coatings, just use a soft cloth to remove greasy finger marks. Try using gloves when setting up and breaking down your drum set.
