A musician who specializes in playing cymbals; a percussionist whose primary instrument is cymbals.
From cymbal + -ist (agent suffix meaning 'specialist in'). The -ist suffix indicates someone who practices or specializes in something professionally.
The -ist suffix is the 'elite' version—a cymbalist sounds more professional and serious than just saying 'person who plays cymbals'!
