Abstract:
A cymbal is disclosed that reduces the presence of high partials and some midrange frequencies from a vibrating cymbal, without noticeable changes of volume, sustain and free movement of the cymbal. This design reduces the amplitude of the cymbal at high frequencies and a specific midrange, while leaving other frequencies relatively unchanged. The cymbal may be played in a normal manner by the drummer, reducing unwanted changes in rhythm. The invention teaches the introduction of rings of apertures around the central mounting hole. The apertures are approximately ⅛″ or 3.175 mm in diameter, and are evenly spaced around the ring. The location of these rings (measured from the center of the mounting hole) and the number of apertures in each ring is specified.

Claim (Index 14):
The circular cymbal of  claim 2  where the cymbal has an approximately 508 mm diameter and a central mounting hole and a plurality of 3.175 mm diameter apertures pierced through the cymbal, where the plurality of apertures consists of eleven rings of evenly spaced apertures, where five rings have 32 apertures in each ring and are located 45 mm, 52 mm, 59 mm, 66 mm, and 73 mm from the mounting hole, and three rings have 64 apertures in each ring and are located 80 mm, 87 mm and 94 mm from the mounting hole, three rings have 140 apertures in each ring and are located 210 mm, 217 mm and 224 mm from the mounting hole, and the ring located 217 mm from the mounting hole is offset by 40 degrees from the other rings.
