Summary:In one embodiment, a cymbal system includes a cymbal and a transducer couplable to the cymbal. The transducer has a sound pressure microphone, and a casing hermetically sealing the sound pressure microphone to prevent communication of air pressure differentials into the sound pressure microphone. An air gap is provided between the sound pressure microphone and the casing. The cymbal may be a perforated low volume cymbal. In one embodiment, a method for making a cymbal transducer includes sealing a sound pressure microphone in an airtight enclosure that includes an air gap between the microphone and enclosure wall, and configuring the sealed sound pressure microphone for attachment to a cymbal.
