Rude question

[Pete Pemberton]

I want to completely strip my rudes. I am assuming that if I get them
down to the metal, they will be really shiny? I have two newer greenish
tinted rudes, and one older browner rude (not a 3000). ANy ideas? I
want to get them down to the bright stuf, but not sure what kind of
tools to start with. I am thinking it will take more than solvent and
elbow grease.

I wonder if it will change the sound much. Do some before and after
recordings. This could change the world by putting the cymbal patina
question finally to rest. If a shiny rude sounds like a brown rude then a
little bit of oxidation patina on any cymbal doesn't mean a thing.

I could never get into the Rudes. The ones I tried seemed to clank. To
each his own.

Sam I have a set of RUDEs on my rock kit. You gotta beat 'em like a
redheaded stepchild to get 'em to sound decent. Light tappings and yes,
they sound like trashcan lids.

Yeah, I broke one the other day. It was about 3-4" too close to me,
didn't realize it until it was too late. 19" Thin, edge crack about
1/2". Not my favorite, but with my current act I don't want to break
all my good cymbals so I bought the RUDE's. They are workin out great.
Loud, but if you smack them, they cut and sound great at festivals and
outdoor shows.

I really don't notice that much difference, The older ones that only
came in the crash ride weight DO have a tendency to clank, unless you
beat Jesus out of them. I was considering replacing all mine with some
nearly new 3000 Rudes, and they were 16-17-19, they were all nasty.
Well the 17 was nice, but didn't match. Wish I had bought it now. These
are live cymbals and I have been and plan to keep beating the shchnott
outta them all summer long.

I think the brown one is 80's.

Gonna go buy some carb cleaner now.

I am trying to think where I can do this where it won't stain, melt, or
kill something...including me and y brain, what's left of it! ;-)

I have three newer ones, two thins and one c/r, and the old brown c/r.
The 19" thin is broken, unfortunately. The thin version isn't too bad,
actually. Better than the Z series anyway.

Pete, get a hot water tank drain pan.
They run about 20 bucks and are the perfect size for cymbals.

Collect all the nasty chemicals, drain into suitable container, take to
auto parts store or somewhere else that takes the stuff in for recycling.
