A cymbal that produces a sharp, loud sound that is used in every style of music. Crash cymbals are made in many different sizes, styles, and thicknesses, and can make many different sounds. Crash cymbals can be used for accents, or to drive the beat.
No the crash/ride is designed to be played as a ride or crash cymbal and the crash cymbal is just for crashing.

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.
Between the Hi Hat and Ride usually over the snare or the High tom.
Crash cymbals stop ringing a lot faster than rides do.
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.
On the far right.

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.
A ride cymbal you can only play with you left hand of course.
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.
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.

Some common drum symbols are the hi-hat, crash cymbal, ride cymbal, and snare drum. Each symbol plays a unique role in creating rhythms and adding dynamics to music.
A Chinese cymbal is an instrument that makes a dark explosive tone. A crash is also an instrument that is round and thin and make a high pitch sound. So it really is up what the person on whether to get a Chinese cymbal or a crash.

No, a ride cymbal is much bigger (typically 19-24 inches) and is often played continuously thoughout a beat (hence the name 'ride'), and a splash cymbal is much smaller (4-10 inches typically) and used for single note accents.
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.
ride, crash, hi hat and sometimes a splash or a china cymbal. personally, i'd go with Zildjian
If you're a beginner, it's probably better to start out with a normal ride cymbal. But if you're looking to play rock or metal, you'll want to go with the rock ride
