Lightbulb How often do you guys clean your kits?


Well I'm sure this is personal preference and it'll depend on what kind of kit you play and how often you play gigs and stuff, but how often do you clean your kits? Polish shells, wipe down cymbals and hardware, the whole nine yards? I don't really give a crap as Im looking to get some new stuff but im curious to see how many people actually do it.

I found that it all depends on where I keep them stored at.
Right now the are stored in the garage where we practice and they get really dusty in there so I clean them about every other week or as needed.
at home if they arnt colecting to much dust then I wont clean them as often.
my hardest thing is poliching my cymbals just for the fact that it takes me a while to do it.

how do you have them set up around the drums? I think that would be pretty cramped.. a picture would help.
