It's just gotten WAY WAY WAY outta hand. All I wanted was to clean them because I am literally ripping the set into little shards and polishing everything for a new look. I figured a old patina would just make it look bad too. I have gotten a few ideas and looked on other forums for a answer where people feel cleaning them for the sound is a good thing. I might just go over to one of them instead. This has been less than inviting right here. All the questions on the drum set I got like thinking I am not telling the truth. I don't know.
You're alright with me!!!!
Clean 'em if you like, artificially age them later if you change your mind. Pee on them, bury them with bunny poop. Whatever you wish!!!
Keep trying to learn things!!! That's what make the world go 'round!!!
