the answer to this is you have to show how sound waves get propagated from the cymbal to the ear.
when cymbal is hit(doesn't matter the force used to hit it) the energy dissipates and creates circular waves just like when a stone hits a pond.
A. I recommend drawing the cymbal dissipating circular wave from the energy of the hit.
B. as the circular wave propagates it creates compression and rarefactions. as sound wave reaches the air it displaces the air particle and if it happens to to several nearby air particles it creates compressions( lines that look like ) where there's high pressure a typical restoring force will cause the particle to move back to their original positiin creating low pressure region(| | |).
I think that's what you should draw.
C. when sound is received it comes with the compressions and rarefactions ( | | | ) which are high pressure and low pressure respectively. As high pressure reaches the eardrum it pushes it inwards and as the low pressure comes it pushes the eardrum outwards causing it to vibrate setting a vibrational motion. since the eardrum is attached to the bones of the middle ear, as the bones begin to vibrate then the sound wave-pressure wave-mechanical vibrations in the bones.
the vibrations are then transmitted to the fluid in the inner ear where they are converted to electric impulses and transmitted to the brain to be interpreted.
if the sound waves come more frequently then the eardrum vibrates more frequently and it can be interpreted as high pitch sound and if the intensity of the sound wave is high it is characterized by air particles with high amplitude and produce a forceful vibration in the eardrum and the brain will perceive it to be a high sound.
that's all I got hope it helps
