History

Until the late 70s (or early 80's) they used to be called "Children's Cymbals".

These CuSn8 small bronze cymbals produce a high pitched, "crashy" sound with a hint of tiny bell qualities. They may be played in pairs with leather straps, mounted upside down over bells on drum set cymbals for special effects or strung in pairs on string to be played with sticks and mallets. (2)

Features an exotic feeling, very dominant center tone with soft, swirling over- and undertones. Available individually, as pairs with straps, or strung up pairs. Could also be used as very unusual mini hats or mounted upside down over a ride bell.
