AI overview
Cymbals are common percussion instruments typically made from thin, round plates of copper alloys, often played in pairs to create sound. They are used across many musical settings—from orchestras and jazz bands to rock bands and drum kits—and while most produce indefinite pitch, some specialized types can sound specific notes.
