Zills or zils (from Turkish zil 'cymbals'), also called finger cymbals, are small metallic cymbals used in belly dancing and similar performances. [1] They are called sāgāt ( صاجات ) in Egypt. [2] [3] They are similar to Tibetan tingsha bells. In Western music, several pairs can be set in a frame to make a tambourine.
The weight describes how thick the cymbal is. Cymbal weights are important to the sound they produce and how they play. Heavier cymbals have a louder volume, more cut, and better stick articulation (when using drum sticks). Thin cymbals have a fuller sound, lower pitch, and faster response.
