Collection: Cymbales

Hand cymbals, finger cymbals and jingles from EMUS, MEINL and SUZUKI.

EMUS brass hand cymbals come in five, seven and eight inch. These are the crash cymbals a student holds one in each hand, and size decides both volume and how long the sound rings. Five inch suits small hands and a small room, eight inch carries over a full ensemble.

Finger cymbals are small discs played in pairs, usually on the thumb and middle finger, giving a bright, short ping that sits above everything else without covering it. EMUS stocks them in chrome and in a brass set of four. MEINL finger jingles come in aluminum and stainless steel, worn on the fingers and shaken or tapped, and the two metals sound distinctly different from each other.

The SUZUKI BARcussion cymbal comes on a key base, so it stands on a table or a bar rather than being held. That frees a hand and makes it playable by someone who cannot manage two cymbals at once.
