Why do we use cymbals?

--> Cymbals... I've wondered about this for a while, this "instrument" without a cohesive frequency that we use in most of our tracks.

I had a minor epiphany today... which is probably something that you all already knew... but thought I'd voice my ignorance anyway...

Cymbals by their nature have all frequencies (or many anyway), so we likely enjoy cymbals in a mix because chances are at least one of their frequency bands will cut through the others... therefore it's the easiest instrument to mix, and the easiest to hear in a mix.

What think you?
