• wherein the cymbal system comprises two cymbals (1, 16) of different diameters D4, D5, wherein the elevations (6) and indentations (7) are formed on the cymbal (1) with the larger diameter (D4) and extend radially from the central bore (4) to the region of an outer edge (18) of the cymbal (16) with the smaller diameter (D5), and wherein the two cymbals (1, 16) are both curved upwardly convex.
