The standard position for a china cymbal is on the second ledger line above the stave (high C in Treble Clef) using an X for the note-head. It is also advisable to label it the first time it is used.
The Sabian Ozone Cymbal is sort of like a china. The holes in it distort the sound waves, so it sounds trashy and awesome when you hit it. It's about the equivalent of a china cymbal with holes
He uses a 20" Meinl Rock China
Lech from abrb uses a Zildjian oriental trash china.
For a good breakdown in metal, I recommend a 14" or 16" Wuhan China cymbals, they are amazing China's and are such great value for money.
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.
While the first cymbals likely were made around 3,000 B.C., scholars are not in agreement as to where the first cymbal was built. There are many guesses as to where this could have taken place--Tibet, India, Turkey, China.
crash cymbal - The most common cymbal, medium-large sized with a sound most easily described as "average" for a cymbal. Ride Cymbal - commonly though of as the jazz cymbal, this one tends to be rather large and has a calmer sound. Unlike the crash, hitting it harder does not produce a good sound and instead it is usually tapped lightly. It has a softer, more atmospheric sound. Think Milles Davis Cool Jazz era. Crash-ride cymbal - this cymbal is a fusion of the crash and the ride cymbals. China Cymbal - this cymbal is rather rare, and is similar in size to the crash, but curves sharply upward halfway out from the center. It has a very trebly sound people often associate with eastern music, hence the name. Splash Cymbal -Usually the smallest cymbal in a set, this guy is often used as a gimmick. It's basically a crash cymbal but only a third of the size, so it's sound is quieter, higher, and "splashier". Hi-hat - This cymbal is actually two small/medium sized cymbals mounted atop each other, with the concave side pressed into each other. They are mounted on a post set up so that a pedal on the floor can either press the cymbals tightly into each other, or allow them to loosen to the point that they barely tough. It is an essential part of most rock kits and patterns, often being hit on every eighth note in the measure.
