Lay out the hardware and wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth to remove accumulated grime. Use a small brush to clean around joints, threads and fittings where residue collects.

Apply metal polish where required and buff dry. Introduce a very small amount of light oil to moving parts such as pedal hinges and hi-hat mechanisms, working the action to distribute it evenly.

Apply a small amount of grease to threaded areas if needed, ensuring any excess is removed. All components should feel clean, smooth and responsive without residue.
