Cymbals

I love cymbals. They are an extremely simple instrument yet they can be so interesting with different visuals, different sounds and split parts. Cymbals are the pimps of the drumline, they are flashy loud and everyone loves looking at them. Cymbals are almost always polished to be extremely shiny. This makes all of the spins and twists they do with their cymbals catch the eyes of the audience even more. Since they are large and heavy its not really possible to play extremely fast music, but what cymbal lines do is split up the music just like bass drums do in order to get out all the notes and also getting different sounds from the different cymbals. When a whole cymbal line is in sync and playing together I find nothing more appealing, I love cymbals. Here is one of my favorite cymbal lines.
