	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.
		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.

		Cymbals at this time are made primarily for use by the military – particularly in the bands, called mehter, associated with the Turkish sultan’s personal guards, known as janissaries.* Mehter bands remain in existence until the official disbanding of the Corps of Janissaries in 1826.

	Cymbal Facts, Theories, and Myths #8 - Cymbalholic Forums
		A bad cymbal may sound passable under a trained hand, and with the music playing and all the variables that come into acoustics (moreso in a live situation), I could see many cymbals not necessarily sounding 'bad' to the average listener.
		Maybe the physical characteristic of a cymbal is "most important" if the cymbal is a zbt and you are comparing the sound perceived by the listener to that of a Fo602 medium flat ride.
		IMO the listener never perceives an isolated cymbal sound but always a performance of which it is a part (with the possible exception of cymbalholics and the likes and cymbal presentations that are intently devoid of expression like on manufacturer's web sites).

	MMD Archives: Amplifying a Crash Cymbal
		As an aside I should remark that the amount of crash cymbal perforation cut into 165 rolls varied a lot over the years, dependent somewhat, I suppose, on the type of music, but more (it seems to me) simply on who was doing the arranging.
		Mike Kitner mounted the crash cymbal on Bill Black's 165, when he rebuilt it, directly on the side of the case near the snare drum, on a vertical plane, with a beautifully long beater that operates without the positive or negative effect of gravity.
		The original Wurlitzer crash cymbal had also cracked years ago from use and was replaced by the current one.
