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.

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. The profile of the cymbal is the vertical distance of the bow from the bottom of the bell to the cymbal edge (higher profile cymbals are more bowl-shaped).
