cymbal
Drummer's metallic disc
A cymbal is a round metal plate that produces a ringing or crashing sound when struck or clashed against another cymbal.
Cymbals come in pairs for hand-clashing or mount singly on stands for drumsticks and brushes.
They're essential to drum kits, orchestras, and marching bands: The drummer hit the cymbal at the song's climax.
