The difference between cymbals and cymbals

Cymbals and cymbals are different in shape and size.

1, cymbal

The cymbal, also known as the brass cymbal, is a round percussion instrument with a diameter of 20~60 cm. Although the cymbals with larger diameters can be played by hand, they usually need to be hung around the waist of the player with a string or a belt, and the edges and central areas of the cymbals can be hit with hands or sticks to make a crisp metallic sound. The use of cymbals originated in China, Turkey or Indonesia. Opinions vary. There are two kinds of cymbals: China cymbals and Turkish cymbals.

Step 2: pot

The cymbal is a flat percussion instrument, usually approximately round or heart-shaped, with a size of 20-50 cm. Players can tap or hold the cymbals with one hand or both hands, and quickly rub the two cymbals to make a sound. Because cymbals are musical instruments with no fixed pitch, generally speaking, small cymbals have the highest sound, followed by medium cymbals, and large cymbals have the lowest sound.

Playing method

There are three ways to play cymbals. One way is hammering, that is, hitting one of them with a soft mallet, and the length of the sound is controlled by playing. The other is rubbing, that is, two pieces of cymbals rub against each other to make a sound. There is also a percussion instrument, that is, two cymbals strike each other hard and make a loud sound. This method is widely used, not only by military bands and brass bands, but also by some waist drum teams.

When playing, cymbals have the same grip and playing skills as cymbals, and their pronunciation is crisp and bright, which is often used in music, entertainment and publicity activities of Buddhism and Taoism. It is also an important rhythmic instrument in instrumental ensemble and dance accompaniment of Henan Opera, Beijing Opera, Shaanxi Opera and Tibetan Opera, such as Hebei Blowing Song, Fan Shi Gong and Drum, Fuzhou Pinghua, Fujian Nanyin and Chaozhou Gong and Drum. In the band, it is often combined with gongs, cymbals and drums to punch a hole for the melody.
