How must I use & care for my cymbals? |
|
|
Cymbal care is a very important matter; it affects sound, life-time and look of the cymbal. First things first; choosing the right cymbal for yourself would increase the life-time and avoid possible breakages. Our production line contains cymbals for every genre. Another important thing is the technique you play cymbals; a full stroke hit directly to the edge may harm your cymbal. Striking off center like a slice helps to avoid breakage and to extend the life of your cymbals. Do not over tighten the wing nuts and always let the cymbals stay flat or just with a little angle on the cymbal stands. After playing, wiping them by a soft cotton towel with a little amount of warm water (and maybe with some soft cleaners like soap but nothing harsh like chemicals) and drying afterwards would help you to keep your cymbals safe for much longer time. Besides the time you use them, keep your cymbals seperated from each other by soft materials such like a piece of cloth or towel and keep them in a case or bag to prevent them from external effects. Always carry your cymbals with a cymbal bag or hardcase. |
