Detail 01
Cymbal and drum care in one kit
Cymbals and drum finishes need different chemistry. Buying one box avoids using a shell polish on bronze.

DunlopSystem 65 Cymbal and Drum Care Kit
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Cleaning kit for drum shells, hardware and cymbals. For a kit owner who wants one box instead of guessing at household cleaners.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Owners of a lacquer or wrap-finish kit needing routine upkeep
- Cleaning tarnish and stick marks off cymbals
- Restoring a used kit bought secondhand
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a patina left on aged cymbals
- Anyone with only a practice pad and cheap hardware
- Repairing dents, cracks or keyholed cymbals
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Multi-piece system
Separate products for shells, hardware and cymbals rather than one all-purpose spray that compromises on each.
Detail 03
Dunlop System 65
Same care line as Dunlop's guitar products, so formulas are aimed at instrument finishes, not general household surfaces.
Detail 04
$45.99
Costs less than one replacement crash. Cleaning is mostly about keeping resale value and appearance.
Detail 05
Accessory, not a consumable set
Bottles and cloths last many cleanings, so cost per use drops sharply over a few years of ownership.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Test any polish on a hidden spot first, especially on wrap finishes

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this take the logos off my cymbals?
Cymbal cleaners commonly lift printed ink logos. Work around them, or accept the loss. Test on a cymbal you care less about first.
02Can I use this on a wrapped drum kit?
Test on an inconspicuous area first. Wraps are plastic and react differently to polishes than lacquer finishes.
03How often should I clean cymbals?
Only when you want them brighter looking. Many players never clean them, since cleaning is cosmetic and some prefer the darker aged look.
04Does this fix corrosion or pitting?
No. It cleans surface grime, tarnish and stick marks. Pitting and corrosion damage to the metal is permanent.
