Crash cymbals (also called concert cymbals or orchestral cymbals) are cymbals played in matched pairs by holding one cymbal in each hand and striking the two together. They are also called hand cymbals, however a hand cymbal can also be a suspended cymbal struck by hand rather than with a beater, and western types are often called crash cymbals; however a crash cymbal is more commonly a medium sized and strongly tapered suspended cymbal struck with a drum stick. ==Terminology== The technical term ''crash cymbal'' is rarely used. In musical scores, crash cymbals are normally indicated as ''cymbals'' or sometimes simply ''C.C.'' If another type of cymbal, for example a suspended cymbal, is required in an orchestral score, then for historical reasons this is often also indicated ''cymbals''. Some composers and arrangers use the plural ''cymbals'' or ''crash cymbals'' to indicate crash cymbals, with the singular ''cymbal'' to indicate a suspended cymbal. Composers will often mix crash cymbals and suspended cymbal on the same part. There are a number of techniques used to indicate which is desired. Whenever ''with stick'' or ''with mallet'' is written, a suspended cymbal is used. A return to crash cymbals can be specified with the Italian phrase ''a 2''. Russian composers developed a notation to differentiate between crash and suspended cymbals in which a + (plus sign) is written over a note to be played on suspended cymbal and a ° (open circle) is written over a note to be played with crash cymbals. Designers of various sound banks, such as the Garritan Personal Orchestra, distinguish between handheld and suspended cymbals by referring to the former as "Piatti cymbals", having already reserved the term "crash cymbal" for the latter. Since "''piatti''" is the Italian term for "cymbal", this may be an awkward, redundant term. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「clash cymbals」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
