Abstract
According to some aspects, a cymbal system is provided comprising a cymbal, and a percussion instrument magnetically coupled to the cymbal, said magnetic coupling between the percussion instrument and the cymbal provided at least in part by at least one first magnetic component disposed on a lower side of the cymbal, and at least one second magnetic component disposed on an upper side of the cymbal and attached to the percussion instrument, the at least one first magnetic component and at least one second magnetic component being coupled to the cymbal, at least in part, by a magnetic force of attraction between the at least one first magnetic component and the at least one second magnetic component that acts through the cymbal.
