What is a reverse cymbal?

A reverse cymbal is a sound created by reversing the waveform of a crashing cymbal. It is typically used in creating suspense, or for electronic dance music. It has a distinctive sound that is easily identifiable. To create your own reverse cymbal sound, record the crashing of a cymbal and use your favourite sound manipulation programme (my favourite is Audacity) to reverse the noise, and implement into your work.


How do rivets affect a cymbal?

Rivets in a cymbal bounce rapidly up and down when the cymbal vibrates after it is hit, creating a "sizzling" type of sound.


Names of symbols called in a drum kit?

crash cymbal - The most common cymbal, medium-large sized with a sound most easily described as "average" for a cymbal. Ride Cymbal - commonly though of as the jazz cymbal, this one tends to be rather large and has a calmer sound. Unlike the crash, hitting it harder does not produce a good sound and instead it is usually tapped lightly. It has a softer, more atmospheric sound. Think Milles Davis Cool Jazz era. Crash-ride cymbal - this cymbal is a fusion of the crash and the ride cymbals. China Cymbal - this cymbal is rather rare, and is similar in size to the crash, but curves sharply upward halfway out from the center. It has a very trebly sound people often associate with eastern music, hence the name. Splash Cymbal -Usually the smallest cymbal in a set, this guy is often used as a gimmick. It's basically a crash cymbal but only a third of the size, so it's sound is quieter, higher, and "splashier". Hi-hat - This cymbal is actually two small/medium sized cymbals mounted atop each other, with the concave side pressed into each other. They are mounted on a post set up so that a pedal on the floor can either press the cymbals tightly into each other, or allow them to loosen to the point that they barely tough. It is an essential part of most rock kits and patterns, often being hit on every eighth note in the measure.


Are boom cymbals and ride cymbals the same thing?

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.


How does the cymbal produce sound?

Cymbals vibrate, much like a gong, when they are struck by another cymbal or a stick or mallet. That's why you can dampen them and why different sized cymbals make different sounds, because different vibration waves, which are making the sound, are coming from different cymbals.

What does an ozone cymbal do?

The Sabian Ozone Cymbal is sort of like a china. The holes in it distort the sound waves, so it sounds trashy and awesome when you hit it. It's about the equivalent of a china cymbal with holes

If a cymbal were struck in space, how do you predict the waves of sound would travel?

Since space is a vacuum, sound waves do not travel through space. Sound waves need a substance to travel through, since there is nothing in a vacuum, sound waves have nothing to travel through. Thus, a cymbal struck in space would not make an audible sound.
