Found this quote from the drummer's bible:
Obviously he is saying that they don't have the same sound forever, but it seems to suggest that by cleaning them properly that it does affect the sound. Is that right?
Age Matters: All cymbals do mellow with age - keep this in mind. No matter how much you clean them or how, they will still mellow. So you may want to buy them a little brighter than you would otherwise like. Many seasoned pro's will seek out used cymbals for just this reason, they want the mellowed tone as it takes all the guess work out of what you'll end up with.
