– Marching Cymbals achieve excellent projection with a higher profile and heavier weight to emphasize mid-range overtones and enhance projection. – Orchestra / Concert Band Cymbals are matched pairs that have a lower profile (bow) and are lighter in weight in order to offer an immediate response and a full range of overtones. – Suspended Cymbals are thin or medium thin and normally played with yarn wound mallets. They are used for powerful crash accents and smooth crescendo effects.
