Hey, i've noticed for a while now there were some dark marks on my cymbals, I decided to clean them today with 'Groove Juice' cymbal cleaner and it made them worse?! What is it?

got bored of rubbing the print off my cymbals, and usually crack them before they have time to get dirty now anyways.

Dave's right. You shouldn't be cracking cymbals at all if you have good technique. Unless you're using Ahead sticks, in which case you might as well be hitting them with baseball bats.lozza23_uk said:got bored of rubbing the print off my cymbals, and usually crack them before they have time to get dirty now anyways.
Dave said:Don't clean with Brasso - it removes any protective layer your cymbal has too. This leads to the same thing happening, but in a shorter space of time.
