	~~=== Chinese Cymbals ===~~
	In western music, China-type cymbals are a distinct type of crash cymbals designed to produce a bright, crisp, and explosive tone. It is for this reason that they have been nicknamed "trash cymbals". The name "China cymbal" is derived from its similarity in sound and shape to Chinese gongs. They are most frequently mounted upside down on cymbal stands, allowing for them to be more easily struck for a better sound.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_cymbal</ref>
