cymbalist

/ˈsɪmbəlɪst/ noun

A musician who plays the cymbals.

Word Origin From Greek kymbē, meaning 'hollow vessel' — cymbals are shaped like two hollow metal cups clashed together. A cymbalist is someone who plays cymbals. The same root gives us cymbiform, meaning 'boat-shaped.' So the cymbalist's instrument is literally a 'little hollow cup' that makes a crashing sound.

noun A musician who plays the cymbals. countable
