Should you clean your cymbals or not? In this article, I share my experiences from over five years of professional cymbal preparation and more than 400 cleaned cymbals. I explain why patina dampens rather than improves the sound, what advantages clean cymbals really have, and give practical tips on proper cleaning – for better sound, longer durability and greater value retention.

As a drummer, continuous practice is the key to developing technique, timing and creativity. But simply ‘banging away’ is often not enough. Those who practise in a structured way make faster progress and are also more successful.
