I play trumpet and just recently joined my schools drumline can you guys tell if there is anything special to playing cymbals...Any help is appreciated.THANKS!

Not anything really. If you're right handed, hold the left one at about at 20-30 degree angle, and from the bottom sweep up and to the left with your right hand, hitting your left and follow through. Pretty easy, could get tiring depending on what size youre playing

Also you might want to lift weights and do wrist excerises because they are pretty darn heavy...so that would help a lot.

There's not really anything complicated about cymbals from my experience. just bang them for the most part!

hit them together when they tell you to....thats about it
