Typically, for metal you want louder, heavier cymbals, and often a dryer sound with a quicker decay. Most brands offer a wide variety of cymbals ranging from thinner, brighter cymbals to heavier metal type cymbals. You can usually find out in the description of a cymbal (if you're ordering them) what kind of sound they produce. Alot of sabian cymbals say in the name what they're for. I know they make a ride cymbal that says metal ride (really short, piercing sound).
If you wanna know what a full-setup needs, metal drummers are known for having huge setups with tons of cymbals. Mostly, this is for show and you really don't need that many. You, for sure, need a hi-hat (bigger rather than smaller), a ride, and for metal I would say two crashes, no smaller than 16", maybe a 16 and an 18, or an 18 and a 20. If you wanna go bigger, you can start adding more crashes, china crashes, splashes, any kind of effects cymbal you can imagine, stacked cymbals, piggy-back cymbals. The possibilities are endless.
The Cambodian metal finger cymbals are called "ching" (sometimes spelled as "chhing").
Cymbals belong to the percussion family of instruments. They are classified as unpitched percussion instruments, meaning they do not produce a definite pitch but rather create a loud, crashing sound when struck. Typically made of metal alloys, cymbals are often used in orchestras, bands, and various musical genres to provide rhythm and accentuation.
No, cymbals are a metal percussion instrument that can be used by being clashed together or hit like a drum. A violin is a string instrument played with a bow.
Common musical instruments used in orchestras and bands include the violin, cello, flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, and percussion instruments like drums and cymbals.
Certainly. There are no 'requirements' as to what type of singer front a Heavy Metal band, and several Metal bands employ various types of vocals, such as Opera singers, first used sparingly by Celtic Frost, then later used by bands such as Theatre of Tragedy, Nightwish, After Forever, etc. Some singers don't have any formal background to speak of, whatsoever. So long as you can find a band that works for you, you can have any background imaginable.
Heavy metal!!

Rush used classical musical forms in their heavy metal music.
The Visual Kei movement is associated with Japan. It is used primarily by musicians, mainly heavy metal bands. It is a type of "look" used by these musicians, composing of make-up and hair designs.
You're likely thinking of either Disturbed, Paramore, or Skillet - all of whom have a song by that name. Although often erroneously referred to as such, none of them are actually Metal bands. It's actually a very generic and common song title, used by both Metal and non-Metal bands, so if it's not one of those, you'll really have to narrow down the search parameters in order to find it.
You could use trash can lids, or your neighbor's cat for death metal, or any other kind of music for that matter. What kind of stupid question is that?
U have your high-hat (that's the two cymbals with a foot pedal), then there is the crash cymbal, normally they're around 16 to 20 inches, then the large ride cymbal (used for a lot of metal and jazz drumming), there are also china cymbals and splash cymbals. China cymbals are a harsh sounding effect cymbal that basically look like they are inside out and splash cymbals are a very small sized cymbal used for effects as well.Hope this helped.
