History of cymbals
The cymbals are said to have changed from the musical instrument called “Kobachi”, which was originally used in Buddhist pujas, to the West. The cymbals were originally made of thinly stretched metal instruments throughout the Eurasian continent. After the Middle Ages, the prototype of the cymbal called Zil began to be used in the Ottoman Empire. This instrument spread all over Europe. Cymbals have come to be used in orchestras in modern Europe. Then, in the 19th century, when the method of stepping on the pedal and hitting the drum was invented, it was also applied to cymbals, and the hi-hat cymbal was born. As a result, cymbals have come to be used in popular songs, and they have rapidly become widespread. Since then, pop cymbals have been applied to various genres, and now cymbals are used in all genres.

Characteristics of cymbals
Cymbals are a type of percussion instrument. A sound is produced by hitting two cymbals against each other. However, this is a cymbal used in classical music, not a pop drum cymbal. Each cymbal has a different tone depending on its weight, size and shape. What is used in an orchestra is a crash cymbal, which makes a sound by hitting two cymbals against each other. The Hi-hat cymbal is a cymbal mixed in a drum set, and the two cymbals face each other and are fixed to the stand. It is linked with the pedal, and the gap opens and closes by moving the pedal up and down. There is also a finger cymbal now. It’s bigger than a crash cymbal, and it’s just like a finger at the base. Put both hands here and rub the two together to make a sound.
