A cymbal assembly, which can be mounted to a side wall of a small percussive musical instrument such as a cajon 50, comprises: first and second opposing cymbals (44) mounted substantially concentrically on a first axis; a cam mechanism communicably coupled to at least one of said cymbals; and an actuating mechanism communicably coupled to said cam mechanism. The actuating mechanism is configured such that a linear force applied along a second axis, substantially orthogonal to said first axis, causes rotation of the cam mechanism, which causes linear movement of at least one cymbal along said first axis. Preferably, the first cymbal is statically mounted and the second cymbal is mounted for linear movement along the first axis. The cam mechanism may comprise a rotational, screw-threaded shaft extending between the cymbals. The actuating mechanism may comprise a level coupled to the cam mechanism, and a foot plate configured to receive a linear downward force from a user to cause the level to apply rotational force to the cam mechanism. |
