The crash is used only for single hits, and often used in concert bands to emphasize certain beats in the musical piece, example: the accent at the end of a crescendo.

The suspended cymbal can be played with more versatility, it can be used for a riding beat (where it is hit often with the beat), but is most often used for rolls, especially in crescendos. When the two cymbals are used together, it brings much more substance to the concert band.

The kind of note a crash cymbal makes is called an indefinite pitch. Also small shaped symbols based on designs from other cultures is called a definite note.

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.

Names of symbols called in a drum kit?

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.


What is the use of the crash and ride cymbals in rock music?

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.
