[edit] Layout changes

The layout of this article could use some attention. As more information gets added, it will be easier to create specific sections, but for now I think it could use a little more organization. A list of cymbal types should be created (looks like it has been started under the 'cymbal parts' section. I'll start working on some of this. Any other ideas? --Ivan Gierland 19:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Text

Removed text: One of the world's largest manufacturers of cymbals is Paiste. Other cymbal manufacturers include Saluda, Zildjian and Sabian. Why single Paiste out? They make some great cymbals, I have a Paiste ride, crash/ride and trad splash in my 'ultimate' set, but they're one among several. The best are a matter of taste, the biggest AFAIK is a factory whose name I can neither pronounce nor spell in Wuhan, China (one of many cymbal factories in that city).

[edit] Gong/Cymbal Difference

I am trying to define the difference between a gong and a cymbal but I'm getting nowhere. They seem to me, in their various forms to share all characteristics. Is it convention that determines that A is a Cymbal but B is a Gong where both A and B are 15 inch bronze disks or is it something else? Grant Petersen 05:47, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Simply gong is thicker than cymbal. There are gongs which their size are similar than cymbals, however, usually gongs are bigger than cymbals. We use a large and hard mallet to play the gong.(Addaick 06:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Fixed Damage

I've tried to fix the damage done to this page... it would be best to watch it for a little bit to see if the vandal comes back. (May 2 2009) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.191.163.194 (talk) 01:39, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
