You hit it with a stick or hit two cymbals together, making a loud noise. a musical instrument in the form of a thin round metal plate, which you play by hitting it with a stick or by hitting two of them together (cymbalum, from kymbalon, from kymbe ).

They were used, often ritually, in Assyria, Israel (from 1100 BC), Egypt, and other ancient civilizations, spread to East Asia, and reached Europe by the 13th century AD. Western orchestral cymbals derive from those used in the Turkish military bands in vogue in 18th-century Europe. Though Asian cymbals are often flat, Middle Eastern and Western cymbals usually have a central concave dome, or boss, so that only the edges touch when they are clashed. The finest cymbals have long been manufactured in Turkey by means of closely guarded techniques. In popular music, cymbals are not clashed manually; instead, a cymbal suspended on a sticklike stand may be brushed or struck, and horizontal "hi-hat" cymbals are clashed lightly by use of a pedal mechanism
