The smallest cymbals associated with a drum set are called splash cymbals.
I belive that it is either one of the toms or the snare drum
it is the splash cymbal
bass drum
Well if you are talking about drum set drums, each drum (snare,toms, kickdrum) all have the same basic components. There are the lugs, batter and resonate heads, two rims, the body(thats what I call it). Thats pretty much it.
A simple drum kit is composed of several basic elements. The drums include the Snare drum (The one with the wires under it), the toms (The drums with out the wires but are hit with a stick, including the mounted ones and the ones that are on the floor, which are floor toms), and the bass drum(s).
2 together is a Hi Hat. 12" or less is a splash. 14" to 18" is a crash. 20" or more is a ride. If it has bent sides it is most likely a china, which are usually 16" to 20". Sometimes you can get something called a crash ride, this is usually 18". There are all sorts of weird or unusual cymbals that make different sounds in addition to the ones listed above.
The most basic drum kit is a 4-piece: snare drum, bass drum, mounted/rack tom, and a floor tom. Also, 14" hi-hats, a 16" crash cymbal, and a 20" ride are pretty standard. The sizes aren't that important, but these sizes are the most common. It's possible to get by without a floor tom or a ride cymbal if absolutely necessary, but the set up listed is pretty bare boned as it is.
typical drum (toms); Rim, head, Tension rod, collar, lug, shell, resonator head. Snare; as above, snare wires, snare strainer, butt, snare side head. bass; as with toms, spurs and bass drum claw.
It's a small cymbal with a very quick decay.

A drum kit will contain at least four drums. It will also have a floor tom, hanging toms, a hi-hat, a ride cymbal, a splash cymbal, and a ride cymbal.
I take it you refer to a "splash cymbal" which is mounted on a cymbal stand.

crash
It is the large cymbal on a drum kit
It can be but it's not an absolute necessity. Most drum sets sold in packages these days come with a hi-hat, a snare, a bass drum, two tom tom drums (usually attached to the bass drum), a floor tom, and a ride cymbal and crash cymbal. That's pretty much the standard drum set for rock and pop music. The floor tom comes in handy for doing fills and "jungle beats" and stuff.
