I play hand percussion in a group where I need to keep everything very sparse and laid-back. A cymbal crash would be overpowering in the venues we play, and, anyway, I'm generally not using sticks at these gigs. What I'm looking for is something that can serve the same purpose as a cymbal (basically signalling a change in the song or adding an accent with an indeterminate splash of noise) without actually resorting to a cymbal. I have bar chimes that do the trick, but a little bit of bar chimes goes a long way.
Any ideas?
