This is a great resource and practice video. Thank you for putting it together. I've shared it with my students and they couldn't be happier to have it!

[DanceEternal]

@PanisEtCircense Thank you - I'm so happy they enjoy it and I hope they also enjoy playing cymbals!

are you using the heavy zills or the smaller type. it sounds like the heavier but I am having trouble they fill like cement. wonderful videos Thank you so much for posting them!

[DanceEternal]

@321flare hi, thanks for writing. In the instructional segment I'm using smaller cymbals, often called "student size". I like using that size for the classroom. Start with the small one (about 2 & 1/4") to learn with, after you're comfortable playing you can get larger ones (like 2 & 1/2" etc.).

3" cymbals are hard to play well unless you have large hands like a man.

Good luck to you!

hi I have tried to play many times, I even had privaye lessons, it didn't work for me. Somehow you got thru to me and I now understand what is happening. thanx so much, you are a lifesaver, because I have always wanted to play finger cymbals, but if you don't understand what you are supposed to do, it becomes daunting. Once again I appreciate your learning method, it worked for me.

[DanceEternal]

Thanks for letting me know, I'm so glad to hear that. Good luck!

[wastobe4me]

It's me again!! I'm gettin there

[wastobe4me]

Thank you sooooooooooo much for posting this. I really struggle with zills and tend to skip even trying most of the time. I am really working now because I so want to be able to play. One question? Are your fingers supposed to turn purple and go numb? It is very uncomfortable!

[DanceEternal]

Yes my fingertips turn blue - they're tight so they don't fall off! Take them off after 15 minutes max!

[NightsMuse]

This is great practice because you begin slowly and build up while on your feet.

Thanks
