Both cymbals can be held parallel to the floor. One cymbal is raised and held slightly over the top (overlapping) of the other. The raised cymbal is then made to strike the other whilst still parallel to the floor. Another approach involves holding the cymbals perpendicular to one another so that the sides/edges of the cymbals are struck together. This technique can provide more control and precision when playing the finger cymbals. Another approach involves suspending the finger cymbals and using a triangle beat to strike the surface.
