Today I decided to test out the tonal differences between clean and dirty cymbals. All music used is by Cloudkicker. The first track is an abandoned project from Beacons called Uno. Tracks two and three are "I admit it now, I was scared." and "We were all scared." The cleaner used was Goof off, which removed a significant amount dirt, grime, oxidization, and sticking marks, changing the tonal qualities, making the cymbals slightly louder, with less muffled high end overtones. Let me know if you have any requests and I'll try my best to fulfill them.
GEAR USED:
Drum stuff:
Sticks used were Vic Firth 5a's
Hardware used was a Yamaha HS-740A Hat stand, and a Sound percussion SP880CS Straight stand.
Audio equipment:
Blue Spark Condenser mic
leading into NADY Phantom power supply
leading into Behringer Q502 Usb Mixer
leading into aluminum Macbook 2008

Both cymbals are probably a few years old and look like they've never been cleaned
