Cymbals. chrome or goldplating on the drumkit,etc :
> Be it showroom display or personal cymbals - it would be good for cymbals & drumkits to look like new ! ( obvious )
> However, fingerprints, dust, sweat, body acid, sulphuric air, fungi are unavoidable.
> They, in due time mar the looks of the cymbal, making them look unsightly.
> Manufacturers either put a thin coat of wax ( which soon rubs off ) or a thin coat of clear lacquer ( which looks marked after the coating flakes off )
> frequent polishing or the lime ball cleaning would eventually wear off the fine tonal grooves of the cymbal ( removing the capability to reproduce rich harmonics that give higher quality cymbals the shimmer & sizzly wash.
It would be akin to shaving ones head -looking bald !( sounding threadbare )
The freshly ' cleaned ' bare ( unprotected ) cymbal would soon oxydize within 6 hours- a waste of time, effort & lime or polish ! )
The very reason why most drummers give up polishing & cleaning after awhile
-a chore & futile attempt
As all drummers soon notice a new set of drums & cymbals soon look old - due mainly from fungi attack as a result of our 99% relative humidity ( we are living on land surrounded by water ! )
>>> There is now a proprietary Cymbal & drumkit Protection treatment available from ACR ( AmazingCustomReference )
>> A SuperProtectant that seals & shields the bare metal from the harmful elements.
1) it is tough - it binds to the metal ( mono molecular )
2) it is invisible - so the surface looks discrete ( nude )
& thus looks better than new ! ( very shiny ! )
3) it is impervious to the elements-acid ,alkaline, grease,etc
4) when dusty- just hose it off under the tap & dry with a clean non abrasive cloth !
5) Retreatment, when neccessary after frequent wear, is easy & no buildup marks !
6) For extra failsafe -three coats could be applied as a start & there after a maintance retreatment for heavy users after about one year !
7) Makes life easy for the drummer besides looking good !
sincerely,
ACR
First of all, this constitutes spamming, as you're technically "sending" us unsolicitated advertisements, which I don't think is allowed on the forums.
Secondly, I beg to differ on a few of your opinions. I don't think you'll be able to wear off the grooves on a cymbal with mere cymbal polish or lime juice... you'll remove a minuscule amount of metal due to the reaction between metal and acid, and you in advertably change the sound of the cymbal - cleaner sound.
I'm assuming that the sulphuric acid you referred to would be from environmental pollutants? But I'm doubtful that the concentration of sulphuric acid that would build up on your cymbal would be of a large enough percentage to actually cause long lasting damage to your cymbal, much less change its sound.
Thirdly, as for the product you're offering, how effective is it, and how safe is it? Drummers using your product will be placing a foreign body, an extra layer, on top of their cymbal. Cymbals vibrate freely and any disruption to their natural vibration is extremely detrimental to the structural integrity, and will result in the cymbal cracking in the long run. If your product is essentially placing an additional layer on the cymbal, would it affect the vibration of the cymbal? At the same time, you mentioned that it is impervious to the elements, meaning very resistant to wear-and-tear, yet why is there a need for 3 initial layers, and a yearly maintenance?
I'm not too sure if I understand what you mean by mono-molecular, and that it binds to the metal. To my understanding, a mono-molecular compound is one that is made up of a single molecule, or has a layer that is one molecule thick. How does this allow more efficient binding to the metal? And just to clear it up, you mentioned that it is invisible, yet it makes the cymbal look better than brand new... oxymoron?
