Performer: Eric Guinivan. "Clash cymbals" (also known as "crash cymbals," a name which unfortunately also applies to a kind of drumset cymbal) come in pairs of different sizes. The quality of sound can be greatly varied by the kind of attack, the dynamic level, and the duration of the sound, which is damped by holding the cymbals against the chest, here indicated by a damping symbol.
