Question:i got my drumkit and bought some new sabian b8 pros 5 days ago and the cymbals are already slightly scratched up, well when you look close or at a certain angle they are. but is there something wrong with the way i'm treating them and is there a way to get rid of the scratches. also theres strange small black lines on the cymbals as well.

ive been playign them for about 4 hours every day since i got them.

Those are the normal stick marks from playing on cymbals.
You can keep your cymbals clean with cymbal polish. I think Sabian has a Cymbal Polish that is a spray on for like $5. Make sure you read the directions on the Cymbal polish very carefully so you dont ruin your new cymbals. You also need a Scratch- free cloth to polish your cymbals with too. They are like $2. You can get them both at your local music store in your town. Good luck

I wouldn't worry about it but its just from playing them it happens all the time to me.
