China cymbal: Encyclopedia - China cymbal

In western music, china type cymbals are cymbals deliberately manufactured to have a "trashy" tone in some ways similar to a chau gong. Image:Aachinatypes.jpg China type cymbals typically have a bell that is cylindrical or shaped like a truncated cone with its base the top of the bell, an outer rim that is turned up in the reverse direction to the main bow of the cymbal, little or no taper (change in thickness) from bell to rim, and an area including the inside of the bell that is unpolished. However some china type cymb ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia - Cymbal

Cymbals (Fr. cymbales; Ger. Becken; Ital. piatti or cinelli), are a modern percussion instrument. Cymbals consist of thin, normally round plates of various cymbal alloys; see cymbal making for a discussion of their manufacture. Most modern cymbals are of indefinite pitch (tuned sets have been manufactured but are rare), whereas small cup-shaped cymbals based on ancient designs sound a definite note; see crotal. Cymbals are used in modern orchestras and many military, marching, concert and other bands. They are one of the two in ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia II - Hi-hat - History of development

The hi hat originated as a cymbal turned upside down on the floor, with another cymbal tied to the drummer's shoe, and was played by stepping on the bottom cymbal. Later in the 20th century, it was raised up to sock level (just below the knee) and called a "low boy" or "sock cymbal." and operated by a pedal. The low-sock was a pedal which simply clashed together a pair of similar crash cymbals. The cymbals were mounted next to the pedal, so playing them with a stick was not possible. Today it is called the "hi hat". The hi-hat stand was developed from the low-sock by ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia II - Drum kit - History

Developed primarily in the United States, early drum kits were known as trap kits (short for contraption) and usually consisted of a bass drum, a snare drum on a stand, a small cymbal and other small percussion instruments mounted on the bass drum or a small table, all played with drum sticks or brushes except for the bass drum. The bass drum was sometimes kicked to produce a sound, and is occasionally still called a kick drum, though bass drums are now nearly always pedal-operated, and sometimes even played with two ped ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia II - Bass drum - Double bass

In some forms of jazz, rock, hardcore punk and many forms of heavy metal , particularly thrash metal, power metal, black metal, death metal, two bass drum pedals are used, one operated by each foot. Originally two tuned bass drums were used for this, but a double pedal on the same drum using an extension mechanism (see illustration) is now more common. Although a double pedal will help conserve space, drum resonance is affected by having two beaters playing one drum which is why many drummers will opt for the classic two bass drum setup. Som ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia II - Drum kit - Kit additions and variations

Some drummers may add a second bass drum (played by the left foot), additional toms, more cymbals, tambourines, woodblocks, cowbells, electronic pads that trigger sampled sounds, or any of a whole galaxy of accessory instruments. Some drummers, such as Billy Cobham, Neil Peart, Terry Bozzio, Keith Moon and Mike Portnoy have gone to extreme lengths and built massive kits including features such as ranges of tuned tom-toms, allowing them to contribute melodically as well as rhythmically. These huge kits reached their zenith in the arena rock of the 1980s, and the trend since then has been towards a smaller instrument.< ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia II - Cowbell - As a musical instrument

Greek herdsmen often use several bells attached to principal animals which produce a distinctive chord. The scale on which this chord is based is then reproduced in the herdsman's pipe - so he can play along with the herd. Similar bells have been used in Western European "Classical" music to evoke a pastoral mood. Clapperless cowbells made of metal are an important element in Latin-American and go go music. These cowbells are struck with a stick - the tone being modulated by striking different parts of the ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia II - Cymbal - Orchestral cymbals

Although cymbals are not often required they form part of every orchestra; their chief use is for marking the rhythm and for producing weird, fantastic effects or adding military colour, and their shrill notes hold their own against a full orchestra playing fortissimo. Cymbals are specially suited for suggesting frenzy, fury or bacchanalian revels, as in the Venus music in Wagner's Tannhäuser and Grieg's Peer Gynt suite. ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia II - Ride cymbal - Terminology

According to most drummers, the term ride means to ride with the music as it sustains after it is struck. However it can apply to either the function of the cymbal in the kit or to the characteristics of the cymbal itself. Most cymbal makers designate some of their cymbals as ride cymbals indicating they are designed primarily for this purpose. Some cymbals are designated crash/ride or more rarely ride/crash to indicate that they are designed to serve either function, and perhaps which function is mo ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia II - Drum kit - Modern kits

The exact collection of components to a drum kit varies greatly according to musical style, personal preference, financial and transportation resources of the drummer. At a minimum a kit usually contains a bass drum sitting on the floor and played with a pedal, a snare drum on a stand, two or three tom-toms, some of which are mounted on top of the bass drum and the largest typically free-standing alongside it (on the floor - hence the word "floor tom"), a hi-hat (sometimes known as a 'sock' cymbal) comprising two small cymbals played by means of pedal with the left foot, a ride cymbal ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia II - Bass drum - Usage

It is used in orchestral music, marching music, and throughout 20th century popular music as a component of the drum set. In popular music, the bass drum is used to mark time. In marches it is used to project tempo (marching bands historically march to the beat of the bass). A basic beat for rock and roll has the bass drum played on the first and third beats of a bar of common time, with the snare drum on the second and fourth beats, called "back beats". In jazz, the bass drum can vary from almost entirely being a timekeeping medium t ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia II - Bass drum - Marching bass drums

A unique musical ensemble consisting of graduated pitch marching bass drums is usually found in marching bands and drum and bugle corps. A bass line typically consists of four to six tuned bass drums, although variations do occur. Smaller lines are not uncommon in high school marching bands, and huge basslines of at least 16 musicians have been seen. The drums typically are between 18" and 32" in diameter, but some groups have used bass drums as small as 14" and larger than 36". Unlike the other drums in a drumline, the bass drums are ...

China cymbal: Encyclopedia II - Hi-hat - Description

It consists of two cymbals mounted on a metal stand, with a pedal-and-spring mechanism designed such that the cymbals can either be brought together by pressing the pedal, or raised to a predetermined (but adjustable before playing) distance by releasing the pedal. The hi-hat can be played by striking it with a drumstick or brush with the cymbals brought together ("closed"), or apart ("open"), or by using the pedal to forcefully br ...
