What's recommended for cleaning cymbals? There are a bunch of fingerprints and smudges on mine that I'd like to take out and I've read everything from Windex to toothpaste to ketchup...

Does anyone know anything about identifying cymbals?

I have an old 20" Sabian cymbal with the logos worn off. It has the hammer marks like the HH series of cymbals but the circumferential lathe grooves are not nearly as pronounced as any pictures I'm seeing. The bell is fairly small and shallow.

Either way, I'm guessing it is some sort of light/jazz ride but I use it as a crash and it has a great dark and "smoky" sound and compliments my A Custom crash perfectly.

Edit: This is the closest match I've found:

I'll get a picture of my cymbal in question up here later.

Here's a photo of my cymbal:



Edit: Weight wise it's much lighter than a Sabian AA Rock Ride (I think they used these on ironside ships during the Civil War) and maybe barely heavier than 20" A Custom Crash.
