I understand that some people want a mirror finish, but I would rather have a more natural finish and keep my logos. I use Groove Juice and the logos have stayed in tact on my Zildjian K and A customs, and Sabian HHX and AAX models. Admittedly, Groove Juice doesn't work on heavily oxidized or very dirty cymbals, but it works great for removing finger prints and light soil. To each his own!
Did anybody else notice they had the logo saver over the B8 logo then after polishing the logo was gone? I find it hard to trust a company that can't use their own product.
Friggin' amazing!! I'd like to see the product in use firsthand. Maybe he can partner up with the cymbal companies on a logo restoration kit..ijs. If I had it i'd just mark what the cymbal is on the underside of the bell for id purposes. But, im thoroughly impressed.
Someone should point out (me) that this method is not just cleaning thfe cymbal, but modifying it as well. Sabian B8 cymbals, at least the one used in this demo, do not come with a brilliant, or polished finish. You are changing the sound characteristics of the cymbal, not just cleaning it. Not that this is a bad thing, but even so, there is a possibility that you could void a manufacturer's warrenty, as they may claim that it was polished by unknown methods and produced unkown heat buildiup
They took it off during the cleaning. I've done this using the logo saver and it looks stupid after. You might as well clean the whole cymbal and lose the logo instead of letting that part of the cymbal wear away. This stuff works.
@skinnymonk Hense the "more sound" comment at the end. Yep, but if you enjoyed how your cymbal sounded beforehand bye bye. Guys, please don't do this to your cymbal, ever!
@Drumpro691 Cool! Happy for you. If you can, Do a video before and after (step by step) and up load it. (if you want) I'd much rather see a demo of this product by an actual customer rather than a company. Thanks
Idk, it makes me feel like it's made hundred years ago by ultimate proffessional and cymbal is like ultimate rare. Some people even say that this dust makes cymbal sound better, it was said on somekind website i don't remember which one, something called ''tips for drummers'' idk if it's true.
@Seffyr I agree. I think someone should come out with a one step cleaner specific to cymbals that don't ruin logos. My band director wants to preserve the logos even though they have no importance to the band whatsoever. This video doesn't tell you where to buy the stuff either. Nor does it explain what's in the products or how it works.
That polish machine is actually from " Maguires " an AUTO MOTIVE wax and polish company. I know cause I've got the very same one, and it is actually very good. As for the logo, you can use electricians tape. Works just fine. You really don't need all this shit, just get any cymbal cleaner and clean on a regular basis. Your cymbals should be just fine! Ask yourself a question. Why don't the major cymbal companies come out with process? Cause it's not needed! Waste of money and time!
So if you use the logo saver, you'll have a dirty spot behind the logo. I'd rather have a beautiful looking cymbal than to have the logo anyway. What a great product.
yea I'm a skeptic, there doesn't seem to be enough information in this video, it looks like they have just dressed up their product as best they can to sell.
yeah but if u block the logo sabian,zildjian,paiste.meinl e.t.c. its dirty there to so your just gonna do all that polishing and have ur logo dirty as hell i like it and i also dont
b8 cymbals dont look that shiny from factory, and in my view therefore are not meant to be that shiny, looks more like your taking the entire lacquer coating off
Just squeeze ketchup all over the cymbal, use a paint brush to spread it around real thick, wait fifteen minutes and rinse it off with a garden hose. None of this crap.
@skinnymonk We just won the national cymbal cleaning shootout featured in Drum!Magazine 2012 NAMM issue. Modern Drummer and now Drum!Magazine experts all agree after rigorous testing our method safe and most effective. Managing editor said:no contest! To all of our loyal customers we say thank you!!! To all non-believers and competitors we say try us and see the levels of cleaning you can obtain from our $39.mini kit to our $289. Pro kit that professional drum techs love!
How to remove the logos on your cymbals in just 3 easy steps!
I understand that some people want a mirror finish, but I would rather have a more natural finish and keep my logos.

Admittedly, Groove Juice doesn't work on heavily oxidized or very dirty cymbals, but it works great for removing finger prints and light soil. To each his own!
Did anybody else notice they had the logo saver over the B8 logo then after polishing the logo was gone? I find it hard to trust a company that can't use their own product.
The "logo saver" ripped off the logo ahaha
how silly
the second step erased the "B8" lol
hmm this could hide my ZBT and B8 Shame, im interested
Geez! That's great! I wonder if it'll take the Gibson logo off my ' 59 Les Paul.
I use TURTLE WAX Bug & Tar REMOVER to clean all my cymbals and I'm so happy with the result..
coulda had a B8
The dirt keep the funk.
Friggin' amazing!! I'd like to see the product in use firsthand. Maybe he can partner up with the cymbal companies on a logo restoration kit..ijs. If I had it i'd just mark what the cymbal is on the underside of the bell for id purposes. But, im thoroughly impressed.
At least now the logo is gone and nobody can tell it's a cheap crap cymbal.
Someone should point out (me) that this method is not just cleaning thfe cymbal, but modifying it as well. Sabian B8 cymbals, at least the one used in this demo, do not come with a brilliant, or polished finish. You are changing the sound characteristics of the cymbal, not just cleaning it.

I got the same finish with metal cleaner (Any general metal cleaner will work, but it'll take off the logos) and Meguiars car wax.
They took it off during the cleaning. I've done this using the logo saver and it looks stupid after. You might as well clean the whole cymbal and lose the logo instead of letting that part of the cymbal wear away. This stuff works.
I wonder if you can pay to get a label put back on a cymbal?
yeah, everybody wants an ugly rectangle around his logo ...
i love the finish after the cleaning process is complete! is there a specific site i can order the cleaners and polish from?
Fuck it, my cymbals are filthy, and they sound and look just fine.
B8's aren't a brilliant finish cymbal. You're changing the sound of the cymbal here. No thanks!
It looks good but even if you do protect the logo you can see when he peels of the protector it takes away the logo's paint anyways...
@skinnymonk Hense the "more sound" comment at the end. Yep, but if you enjoyed how your cymbal sounded beforehand bye bye. Guys, please don't do this to your cymbal, ever!
"Should have NEVER had a B8!"
@Drumpro691 Cool! Happy for you. If you can, Do a video before and after (step by step) and up load it. (if you want) I'd much rather see a demo of this product by an actual customer rather than a company. Thanks
@Plangentry youre right man, i was like.. wait somethings missing here.. the eff.!! ... wheres the B8 logo?..
Larry----you rock-n-roller !!
@cymbaldr Where can I purchase them?
Incredible
I love when cymbals look dirty and old. :)))
How long does the sealant last?
But you loose the logo unless you want a square that looks like before the cleaning...
I don't think cymbals are supposed to look like jewelry... xD
what happened to the B8 logo
Where do you get this kit?
where's the logoo.... -.-
at the end, the cymbals look like a grey metal
but they really are gold :/
where can i find this stuff?
@cymbaldr yeah, but with the logo protector. the logo will remain filthy.
Idk, it makes me feel like it's made hundred years ago by ultimate proffessional and cymbal is like ultimate rare. Some people even say that this dust makes cymbal sound better, it was said on somekind website i don't remember which one, something called ''tips for drummers'' idk if it's true.
what's the cleaner?
The guy @ 4:21 looks like Kip Kay
How is it to just put the cymbal in the dish washer?
@Seffyr I agree. I think someone should come out with a one step cleaner specific to cymbals that don't ruin logos. My band director wants to preserve the logos even though they have no importance to the band whatsoever. This video doesn't tell you where to buy the stuff either. Nor does it explain what's in the products or how it works.
you took the LOGO OFF!!!!!! WAAAAAAA!!!!!
That polish machine is actually from " Maguires " an AUTO MOTIVE wax and polish company. I know cause I've got the very same one, and it is actually very good. As for the logo, you can use electricians tape. Works just fine. You really don't need all this shit, just get any cymbal cleaner and clean on a regular basis. Your cymbals should be just fine! Ask yourself a question. Why don't the major cymbal companies come out with process? Cause it's not needed! Waste of money and time!
So true.
So if you use the logo saver, you'll have a dirty spot behind the logo. I'd rather have a beautiful looking cymbal than to have the logo anyway. What a great product.
donde lo puedo conseguir?
0:36
yea I'm a skeptic, there doesn't seem to be enough information in this video, it looks like they have just dressed up their product as best they can to sell.
What if you clean the cymbals then the LOGO will come off?
yeah but if u block the logo sabian,zildjian,paiste.meinl e.t.c. its dirty there to so your just gonna do all that polishing and have ur logo dirty as hell i like it and i also dont
where is logo
you'l still get your dis colouring around thew logo? you cant be that fine with a buffer.
This also voids Sabian's manufactures warranty
zbt ride sounds better than the B8 ride
where is the profound ?
the polish ?
yeah when u are polishing the cymbal youre taking actual material from it! so it just makes it more weak! and wth with the logos!
unless its ridiculously expensive, I don't see a reason not to try it out.
lol brasso
just put tape on the logos clean it take the tape of an viola
But I like my logos :(
@brent0529 Zildjian and Sabian logos readily available from the manufacturers for as little as one dollar.
put ht + tp + :/ + / in front of links
they last longer then your average cymbal tho
Sorry!! But what a waste of money!!
Who else hears the voice of Herbert ther pervert from Family Guy?
i dont give a shit that it took that logo off.... i wouldnt want them to know that beautiful brilliant finish is on a crappy b8 haha
Heavy crash -> Paper thin crash
b8 cymbals dont look that shiny from factory, and in my view therefore are not meant to be that shiny, looks more like your taking the entire lacquer coating off
This would totally make your cymbals sound bad if you put this on your cymbals
bullshit cause its shiny it sounds louder!!! Wrong!!
Just squeeze ketchup all over the cymbal, use a paint brush to spread it around real thick, wait fifteen minutes and rinse it off with a garden hose. None of this crap.
I like them not polished and with logos.
who the fuck cleans their cymbals this thoroughly?
Jesus!
Ill pass cuz I like people knowing I have an hhx and 3 aax
what the fuck happened with the logo
i mean...if i don't want to sell the cymbals again i'd like better to have them clean and shiny like this and give a fuck about the logo...
long long long intro
they both are polished trash can lids for kids that can't afford real cymbals and that's all there is to it
A B8.. no logo?? No big deal, B8s are disposable anyway.
haha, at least it's not a zbt
ROFL true story
Word! lol
idk, that really doesn't matter to me, i think i'll stick with my Sabian Hand Hammered's and Zildjian K's, i hate budget cymbals.
