lurkittyBeing a belly dancer, I have used zils , or finger cymbals, for a long time. I have always wanted a set of Zildjian zils because of their beautiful tone. I got wind of a sale on Amazon, and having a little bit of money to splurge with, I ordered a pair.
They came today. I eagerly open the package to find a red velvet bag...containing two zils.
For any other brand of zils - a "pair" equals four, not two. I have two hands and need two for each hand. I use both to tap out the complex patterns of middle eastern percussion.
*facepalm* Would have saved on shipping had I ordered two "pair". Drat. But they sound nice.
