Clash cymbals are cymbals played in identical pairs by holding one cymbal in each hand and striking the two together.
They are also called hand cymbals, however a hand cymbal can also be a suspended cymbal struck by hand rather than with a beater, and crash cymbals, however a crash cymbal is more commonly a medium sized and strongly tapered suspended cymbal struck with a drum stick.

From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction,
Make our nation free indeed;”
