Anything you hit makes noise. Noise is made by vibrations in the air. The cymbals vibrate a lot and that's what makes the sound. Watch a cymbal being hit in slow motion.
Along with the high-hat, the crash and ride cymbals are the most common cymbals. The ride cymbal is similar in function to the high-hat, keeping an eighth-note or quarter-note beat, however ride cymbals have a longer duration than high-hat which generally makes a ride groove sound more constant than a high-hat groove. The crash cymbal is most commonly used at the ends of fills or as fills by themselves, used especially to bring more dynamics and energy to important beats. Crash cymbals are usually the last beat played at the climax of a phrase in the song.
Yes
U have your high-hat (that's the two cymbals with a foot pedal), then there is the crash cymbal, normally they're around 16 to 20 inches, then the large ride cymbal (used for a lot of metal and jazz drumming), there are also china cymbals and splash cymbals. China cymbals are a harsh sounding effect cymbal that basically look like they are inside out and splash cymbals are a very small sized cymbal used for effects as well.Hope this helped.
Most pieces that use them only require one pair of crash cymbals. Some pieces also use a suspended cymbal.
The best cymbals for playing Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold would be Sabian cymbals, as those are the cymbals that The Rev. used.

Gamelan sounds very percussive and metallic. It sounds like a cross between crash cymbals, gongs, and steel drums.

Yes they are.
Cymbals are made from thin, usually round plates of solid bronze or sheet bronze (in the case of budget-priced cymbals) of indefinite pitch. Cymbals provide the means for a drummer to add atmosphere and augment a piece of music with the varied sonic qualities that different cymbal types offer, as well as serving as the timekeeper. As such, they're every bit as important as the drums themselves. Crash cymbals are designed to accent the rhythm and add a sense of drama. Often hit in unison with a kick drum for added emphasis, crash cymbals come in a wide variety of sizes and thickness, and each have their own distinctive tones. The heavier, large-diameter crash cymbals are usually large enough to double as a ride cymbal, and have plenty of volume and sustainability. Smaller crash cymbals are often referred to as splash cymbals since they're usually quieter, higher-pitched and have a shorter sustainability. They're particularly effective when used in conjunction with heavier crash cymbals, giving the kit a nice variety and contrast in sounds.
Crash cymbals can be mounted on a stand and played with a drum stick, or by hand in pairs. Typically they are set up along side a drum kit and played by a drummer with drum sticks.

Cymbals. The others have strings that vibrate to make the sound.
You've got the Bass Drum, Snare, Xylophone, and Crash Cymbals.
