KookyOrangutan5005, Cymbals are circular, curved brass disks. They can have Leather loops and be clashed together by hand, or fitted to a stand and operated by a foot pedal. A single cymbal can be struck with a drumstick. Rock band drumkits always have at least one cymbal, I'm sure you've seen them.

Apparently the first use of Castanets were for hunting in the Pyrenees Mountains, They made a very similar sound to Goats hooves on the Rocks, thus making it easy to catch or kill wolves who could hear the clicking of the Castanets.
