| | Crashes
Cymbals with personality. Once you have selected your Ride and HiHat, you are ready to branch out to Crashes and Splashes. There are no limits to the number or variety of these cymbals you should include in your set-up. Pitch and size should play a role in how you select your Crashes. What makes a great Crash? There are endless sound possibilities for each individual crash cymbal. Therefore, it is important to select your crash cymbals in relation to the other cymbals in your set-up. Good pitch intervals between your crashes, as well as a wide range of sounds will help to make your sound more effective.

| | HiHats
The heart of your set-up. The HiHat is a timekeeping necessity for all drummers. Because the HiHat and the Ride both play a part in keeping time, the relationship between them is very important. Ideally they should be selected together, and they should sonically complement each other. What makes a great HiHat? For the majority of HiHat combinations, the bottom cymbal is heavier than the top cymbal. This will ensure a good clean "chick" sound. It is also important that the volume of your HiHats is in balance with your snare and bass drums.

| | Rides
More than just a timekeeper. The Ride cymbal is an integral part of every cymbal set-up, from acoustic jazz to heavy rock. It pushes along the chorus of a rock tune with just the right contrast, and it is the most coveted possession for the serious jazz drummer. No matter how you use it, the distinct sound, along with its flexibility to voice both riding and accents opens up unlimited possibilities for the drummer. What makes a great Ride? There are two ends to the Ride cymbal spectrum. On one side is a dry cymbal with few overtones and highly pronounced stick definition. On the other end is a ride with plenty of spread and overtones, and with more delicate stick definition. Zildjian offers both of these extremes and everything between, to give you every possible option.
