Hey, I've got a bunch of really narly looking cymbals. Some of them are nice ones most are not though. I have tried to clean them with brasso with no success. Is there a way to polish them back to new sheen or is it not possible? Does cleaning them help the sound a great deal? I'm not exactly a "drummer" but I like to play and record them.

yes, althought i have a cheap Pearl ride (yes, the same drum manufacturer pearl) and it didn't take some of the nastyness off of it, but it did get shinier (sp?). anyways, i have zildjian cymbal polish (like $15). the trick with it is to rub rub rub it on like crazy with a cotton towel, then let it dry so the cymbal looks hazy, then buff it off. for fingerprints and such, windex will clean it.
