∙ 12y agoMeinl cymbals are cymbals. Roland Meinl Percussion is a company that makes various types of cymbals for drum kits. Meinl was founded in 1951 by Roland Meinl.
It's called a xylophone stick, depending on the type of instrument. Some types are referred to as beaters.
The FIVE instruments are harps, psaltries, timbrels, cymbals, and trumpets.
The cello, viola, violin, and piano are all stringed instruments. Although the piano is also a percussion instrument since you use your fingers to assist causing sound.
Cymbals are made from thin, usually round plates of solid bronze or sheet bronze (in the case of budget-priced cymbals) of indefinite pitch. Cymbals provide the means for a drummer to add atmosphere and augment a piece of music with the varied sonic qualities that different cymbal types offer, as well as serving as the timekeeper. As such, they're every bit as important as the drums themselves. Crash cymbals are designed to accent the rhythm and add a sense of drama. Often hit in unison with a kick drum for added emphasis, crash cymbals come in a wide variety of sizes and thickness, and each have their own distinctive tones. The heavier, large-diameter crash cymbals are usually large enough to double as a ride cymbal, and have plenty of volume and sustainability. Smaller crash cymbals are often referred to as splash cymbals since they're usually quieter, higher-pitched and have a shorter sustainability. They're particularly effective when used in conjunction with heavier crash cymbals, giving the kit a nice variety and contrast in sounds.
The main two categories of percussion instruments are tuned and untuned percussion.Tuned percussion: Timpani, glockenspiel, xylophone, marimbaUntuned percussion: Drums, Cymbals, Woodblock, maracas, bongos, triangle, tambourine.
There are three types of drums that are common in marching band: the Snare drum, the Bass drum, and the Quad-Toms. Cymbals are also common in marching band, even though they are not a drum. If your school has a drumline, chances are there will be cymbals in it because they are commonly thought of as percussion instruments.
I think it's from the percussion section.. I hope it can be helpful :)
The cymbals can be made out of a few different type of metals. Zildjian, Paiste, Sabian, Meinl, and others use brass, and bronze, with different copper to tin ratios of different types of bronze. The main metal used for cymbal making is bronze. Cymbal companies will typically use brass for absolute beginner cymbals because it has a harsher tone than the bronze.
No, a ride cymbal is much bigger (typically 19-24 inches) and is often played continuously thoughout a beat (hence the name 'ride'), and a splash cymbal is much smaller (4-10 inches typically) and used for single note accents.
