From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Cymbals
     (Heb. tzeltzelim, from a root meaning to "tinkle"), musical
     instruments, consisting of two convex pieces of brass one held
     in each hand, which were clashed together to produce a loud
     clanging sound; castanets; "loud cymbals." "Highsounding
     cymbals" consisted of two larger plates, one held also in each


     hand (2 Sam. 6:5; Ps. 150:5; 1 Chr. 13:8; 15:16, 19, 28; 1 Cor.
     13:1).
