Cymbals are round metal alloy plates, mostly enjoyed by kids. This very important percussion instrument is used for bands like marching bands, metal bands and jazz bands.

It is usually kept with the drum kit. There can be two or three kinds of cymbals. The most revered name in cymbals is of Avedis Zildjian Company which has been in this profession for almost 300 years now! Beginners, rock band players, jazz drummers, all go for zildjian cymbals.

A Canadian company specializing in cymbals and is a rival to Zildjain cymbals is sabian cymbals. This company has only been around for 30 years but due to its broad product range and affordable pricing, has found a place in the market. They manufacture a range of cymbals for beginners as well as professional band players. Sabian uses bronze alloys for all its cymbals while Zildjian offer cast bronze cymbals. Originally, the founder of Zildjian cymbals used tin, copper, silver alloy for its cymbals. It contained 80% copper, 20 % tin and traces of silver. They have different ranges of cymbals, depending on the materials used for manufacturing. The sheet bronze cymbals use less of tin metal and high percentage of copper. The other lines of zildjian cymbals are FX, Z3, Armand Zildjian, K Zildjian; and all are cast bronze cymbals.
