Hilite Exclusives and a set coming up

[sonordrug]

I'll start here on the new DRUMANDSTAGE FORUM with this first topic, my Hilite Exclusive set I am about to bring to the Chicago Drum Show 2025. First, of course, I wish to congratulate Jules on his new forum. What a fine feeling I have just seeing the old software. Feels so good!

Don't have photos to post (short on time) but will mention the Hilite in Black Lacquer and Copper plating including two double cym. stands, snare, hihat and tom post (plus arms) in matching copper. Sizes are 8, 10, 12, 13, 14 & 16 floors, matching 7 snare, 18 & 22 BD. Taking to my booths at this years Chicago Drum Show (St. Charles, IL) along with two Signature bop sets, bubinga and ebony.

In regards to cleaning the copper hardware, lugs etc. are there recommendations as to what will just take the grime off? I'm assuming vinegar/water or lemon juice/water and course rag.

More info on the drums to come.
