Male Music

I once was in a composition class where the question was asked "What is a male sound" The class responded with typical ideas Large Low sounds instruments and colors. I was sitting next to a musician from China and asked what a male sound in China was. He looked a little surprised that I didn't know. In Peking Opera the small cymbal that rises in pitch quickly after you hit it. (pyow-pyow-pyow-pyow-pyoooowww) signals that the Male Hero has entered the stage.
Obviously.
