I recently came into possession of an old Zildjian mini cup20" ride that has a strip of old masking tape on the underside that is turned a color black and is not peal able to get off-anyone know the best way to remove something like this? Thanks......

you should try Goo Gone. You can usually get it at the dollar store

Goo Gone or or adhesive remover. Either one will do the trick and not damage the cymbal. But let it soak and wipe it with a cloth. Don't use any steel wool or scrapers.

Use WD 40. You will be surprised! Let it soak for a few minutes and then wipe with a cloth.

Plus: It doesn't hurt the cymbal.

Goo gone or (circa1851s) degooper ...

Also u may need to clean the Cym (personal preference) but Mother's would be the best.
