How do you change and pitch of cymbals?

To change the pitch of cymbals, you can manipulate their tension and shape. Tightening the cymbal’s bell can raise its pitch, while loosening it can lower the pitch. Additionally, altering the thickness or diameter of the cymbal through shaping or cutting can also impact its tonal characteristics. Experimenting with different playing techniques, such as striking with varying force or using different mallets, can further affect the perceived pitch and sound quality.
