Does this need cleaned? Zildjian

I picked up a few cymbals last night, the 20" pictured, a 18" to match (nice trashy sound to it), a 16" Thin Crash, and a set of 14" Pastie Sound Creation Hats. The seller had them in a shed with some striped drums (may have been Gretsch) that were pretty bad off. Made him a deal for the cymbals but man are they dirty! The picture is of the 20". So what do I do, To Clean or Not To Clean that is the question!

that looks like a nice 60's natural patina to me. i'd wipe them down with a rag and that would be about it for me.

I agree with Mike...A little mild soap and warm water with a soft rag is all I`d use...

Cheers
