Caring for Your Drum Baffles: Maintenance and Cleaning Tips
Drum Baffles are precision‑machined from cast acrylic, so they not only sound great but also look great on stage. To keep them looking and performing their best, give them a little care. Wipe your baffles after each show with a soft, lint‑free cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution applied with a microfiber cloth—avoid window cleaner or abrasive pads, which can scratch the acrylic and create cloudy spots.
Store your baffles properly when not in use. A padded cymbal bag or the original packaging is ideal for transporting them between gigs. 30‑inch discs can ride safely in a road case; 23‑inch discs slide neatly into a cymbal bag alongside your hi‑hats. Don’t stack unprotected baffles together, as friction can create fine scratches. With a bit of care, your Drum Baffles will remain crystal clear and continue redirecting harsh high‑frequency energy away from vocal mics and bandmates for years to come.
