whats that instrument called above the gong?

Topic is horrible I know, but...

I've seen a lot of corps use them, they are 3 or 4 rectangle pieces of metal that are hung above the gong. Anyone know what they're called, or where to get them?

Are they pitched or what? :twisted:

Anyone?

I looked up gong sheets and thats not it.
someone else said ' Sound Plates ' which seems closer to the mark.
