Yes, you can store cymbals in the cold, but it's not recommended for long periods because extreme temperatures can potentially cause damage or warping.
Also, if stored in a cold environment where they might be exposed to moisture (like a damp basement or garage), they are at a higher risk of developing rust or tarnish.
Some cymbals have coatings or finishes that might be more sensitive to temperature changes. Cold temperatures could potentially affect these finishes, leading to cosmetic damage.
In general, cymbals are hardier than many other musical instruments when it comes to temperature changes, but it's still best to store them in a stable, controlled environment to maintain their condition and longevity. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help mitigate potential damage from cold conditions.
Always store them in a dry place to avoid moisture buildup, which can lead to rusting. It's best to store cymbals in a temperature-controlled environment if possible.
