===Marching arts=== {{See also|Marching Percussion#Cymbals}} In a [[Marching arts|marching ensemble]], such as a [[Drum and bugle corps (modern)|drum corps]] or [[marching band]], cymbals will often be marched as part of the [[Marching percussion|drumline]]. The technique of marching cymbals is vastly different from that of orchestral cymbals. Typically, marching cymbalist employ a technique known as "Garfield grip" (named after its use by the [[Garfield Cadets|Garfield Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps]]) in which the hand is placed through the straps and twisted to let the palm rest on top of the bell. This technique allows for greater control over the instrument and for movements known as "visuals" β flashy maneuvers such as flips and twirls.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hannum |first=Thom |title=The Cymbal: Its Standard and Special Use in Contemporary Marching Ensembles |publisher=[[University of Massachusetts at Amherst]] |year=1984 |pages=35β37 |oclc=11413855 |author-link=Thom Hannum}}</ref> There has been a trend in recent years to replace the cymbal line with cymbals in the [[front ensemble]], although cymbals still remain a vital instrument in [[Indoor percussion ensemble|indoor percussion ensembles]].
