	Middle Eastern Percussion Instruments
		Finger cymbals are worn in pairs on each hand, one attached to the thumb at the first knuckle and one attached to the middle finger.
		The cymbals are attached by elastic drawn through holes or slots in the cymbals.
		Sounds are produced by striking the cymbals together, either straight together or one straight and one on the edge.

	Cymbal
		Although cymbals are not often required they form part of every orchestra; their chief use is for marking the rhythm and for producing weird, fantastic effects or adding military colour, and their shrill notes hold their own against a full orchestra playing fortissimo.
		Furthermore, the edge of a suspended cymbal may be hit with shoulder of a drum stick to obtain a sound somewhat akin to that of a pair of clash cymbals.
		Cymbals may also be dropped, intentionally or otherwise, causing a range of sounds depending on whether it hits the floor full on or spins before coming to a rest.

		The Greek cymbals were cup or bell-shaped, and are to be seen in the hands of fauns and satyrs innumerable in sculptures and on painted vases.
		During the middle ages the word cymbal was applied to the Glockenspiel, or peal of small bells, and later to the dulcimer, perhaps on account of the clear bell-like tone produced by the hammers striking the wire strings.

	Clash cymbals
		Clash cymbals are cymbals used in identical pairs for hand playing by holding one cymbal in each hand and striking the two together.
		Orchestral clash cymbals and most band cymbals have leather straps passed through the holes in their bells, leading to four tails which are knotted inside the bell, to allow the player to hold them.
		China type clash cymbals need no handles as the squared bells can be held quite securely without them, and are often joined by a cord through the holes in their bells which allows the player to release the bells after striking producing less damping and greater sustain, and to swing the cymbals producing doppler effects.

	Science Fair Projects - Hi-hat
		It consists of two cymbals mounted on a metal stand, with a pedal-and-spring mechanism designed such that the cymbals can either be brought together by pressing the pedal, or raised to a predetermined (but adjustable before playing) distance by releasing the pedal.
		To produce this the cymbals are stuck twice in rapid succession, being held closed on the first stroke and allowed to open just before the second, then allowed to ring before being closed with a "chick" to complete the pattern (the cymbals may or not be struck on the "chick").
		Modern hi-hat cymbals are much heavier than modern crash cymbals, reflecting a continual trend to lighter and thinner crash cymbals as well as to heavier hi-hats.

	TIMPANI - Cymbals
		"Clash" cymbals are the pair which are sounded by bringing together whilst "suspended" cymbals are placed on a stand and struck with beaters.
		Clash cymbals are regarded as the finest examples of the cymbal-smith's art, with the best pairs being hand-hammered into shape and before being paired into identically sounding sets.
		The larger the cymbals, the lower they are in pitch; the louder it can play; and the heavier it is. The standard sizes are around 18-20 inches, with the largest (24 inches) and smallest (16 inches) being rarely used.
