Zinger cymbal

Last updated

A zinger cymbal is a small Turkish cymbal attached to a bass drum in a drum kit. [1] The cymbal is hit with the bass drum beater (often activated by a pedal) and produces sound at the same time as the bass drum. [2]

More common in early jazz music, the zinger cymbal is hardly used in modern drumming. [2]
