A method of optimizing the sound produced by a musical cymbal is disclosed wherein at least one segment (Fig. 2) including sound absorbing material (9) having a specific, predetermined shape and thickness is applied to a mapped surface of a cymbal (Figs. 6 and 7) in order to alter the volume, frequency and duration of sound produced therefrom In a second embodiment (Fig. 3), a segment including vibration damping material (19) having a specific, predetermined shape and thickness is applied to a mapped surface of a cymbal in order to alter the volume, frequency and duration of sound produced therefrom Also disclosed is a cymbal having surface location markings so as to produce a mapped cymbal allowing precise identification and recording of the location where the aforementioned segments are placed (Figs. 5-7). The at least one segment is affixed to varying positions and in varying amounts in order to obtain desired sound output from the cymbal to which they are affixed.
