 "This stuff stinks!!!" 2009-06-02
By E. Macomber (New Bern, NC United States)
An earlier review was right, there is some type of ammonia or non-breatheable ingredient in GJ...but man, it beats the socks off of Zildjian paste or brasso-type creams. Look, I am just a amateur who plays his drums about 4 days a week, for the mere fun of it, and cymbal cleaning is not my way to "have fun." This is purely the cure for time phantoms like me.

I also hated the fact that a $390 Zildjian looks like a no-name rip off following the cream "logo eradicator" I used before.

Finally, if you have a haze, you did not wash all the chemical off, or did not dry the cymbal completely. Always use this product near a well ventilated area, but enjoy the ease and time you saved!

Hint, if you only clean your cymbals 2 times a year, store the GJ in a glass jar until ready to use it in its plastic spray bottle. The stuff goes funky in the spray bottle if allowed to set over a years time!

I've heard of Groove Juice for a while and decided to try some cuz my kit had been left uncovered and had gotten dusty. It won't take silk-screened logos off either.



I use Zildjian A Series and always keep mine clean & shiny (vs letting them tarnish), so they aren't super-cruddy, etc. I took one of my 18's, sprayed the stuff on and waited 30 sec. for the wipe-off. Initially the bell started to glimmer, but I'm not sure that wasn't from just having something wet on it.



After 30 secs, I wiped the stuff off and presto ! - no big deal. As a matter of fact, my cymbal seemed to have a haze on it, but perhaps that was from not being totally dry (?). And most drummers know how much black cymbal crud/tarnish comes off when cleaning and there was basically nothing on my rag. Weird. Maybe it cleaned out some dirt deep in the grooves of my cymbals, but I don't see any real "polish" aspect with this product. I decided to just use my Brasso...much better results. I did follow up with GJ after the Brasso to blend the Brasso'ed area and non-Brasso'ed logo areas. That sorta works.



I also tried this on a 14HH that was starting to develop a green spot about the size of half of a dime. GJ did nothing to remove it.



We're all looking for that perfect cymbal cleaner & polish and would say this ain't it either. Arrrgghh... I really wanted this stuff to work!

I had brought the cymbals home from the set that we have at church and was going to polish them up with another brand's paste/cream product. Couldn't find where I'd put it in the house, so I went to a local music store and they carried Groove Juice. I didn't really read the product at the store; just went off of the tech's recommendation.



Went to start cleaning the cymbals (got out a bunch of rags, getting ready to polish and scrub) and I read the directions on the bottle. Spray cymbal surface evenly with product, let sit for 30 seconds, rinse off with warm water, and dry with a soft cloth?!?!? It can't be this easy!!!



So I tried it, and MAN!!, the results were spectacular!! The silk-screened brand markings on the cymbals didn't rub off (like they had started to with the paste-stuff), the shine came back almost as soon as the liquid was sprayed on to the cymbal surface, and the best things were that I was done with seven cymbals in about 20 minutes and my arms didn't feel like they wanted to fall off. With the paste stuff, I felt like The Karate Kid..."wax on, wax off".



I hope they don't stop making this stuff! Highly recommended! My only caution is to have ventilation available. It has a pretty strong odor to it and could cause problems if you're asthmatic or particularly sensitive.



The folks running the lights at church are going to hate me for cleaning the cymbals. They were so dull with oxidation and tarnish; now they're so shiny and shimmering!

 "Husband loves them and so do our eardrums" 2009-07-11
By Lorax
Wasn't sure if this would be a great gift for my husband, the aspiring drummer, but he loves them, and we do too! It's nice that he can play like he wants and not be as loud. He uses them all the time and says they are wonderful. Great gift for the drummer in your life.

 "Great Stick!" 2009-05-22
By Steven Salim
Awesome product, very handy and light. Creates a different softer sound, especially nice if you play too loud with your usual stick. Will feel slightly powerless when using this stick but it is awesome for playing in church. Before you start using it, you better tighten the end part of the stick with a rubber band so it doesn't spoil easily.

 "i like them" 2008-08-22
By Christopher M. Porro (san francisco, ca)
i have not tried several brands/models of bundled sticks. this review will help someone thinking about trying bundles sticks for the first time. if bundles sticks are your thing...well i'm not an aficionado.



these "sticks" are both longer and heavier then most traditional solid sticks. they are wider to grip (which i like) so you can use more of your hand.



they don't rebound nearly as well as solid sticks. this has a few effects.



1) you can't do rolls as well.

2) because they take their time getting off the head (dampening resonance)they are quieter. much quieter then solid sticks. this is why most people get them i think.

3) the stick attack is much more pronounced then with solid sticks.



they are also not nearly as durable as solids sticks. after enough rim shots and crashes the dowels break one by one. so if you are a heavy hitter bring extras. however, since most people are trying to take down the volume with these and hitting light, this is less of an issue.



even though they break easy, are less nimble, and cost more i still have to have a pair in my stick bag. they feel and sound very different then reg sticks. they are a good way to bring down volume without hitting softly. on some material i like the way they sound better then sticks.

Great sound! not too loud and not to soft. Great for all types of music playing

 "Fabulous Sticks!" 2006-03-30
By R. Anthony Reynolds (Seattle, WA USA)
These sticks were recommended to me by a friend and they're great for the venue I play: church. Hot Rods allow me to play with full strokes; I don't have to hold back like I would with even the lightest regular sticks, yet I get a much reduced volume.



My muscle memory benefits and so does our congregation which has many people who don't believe drums should be used in a church. By playing quietly, I have been able to add rhythm to our band and worship without being offensive and have actually won some people over.



The only downside to these sticks is that the small dowels used will splinter and break, especially when used agressively on the edges of cymbals, ie, hi-hats. But other than that, they're hexagonal, have a non-slip grip and are easy to hold.



Great product. Pro Mark caught Vic Firth napping with these babies...
