The other two cymbals that are usually found on a drum kit are the crash cymbal, which is designed to give a crash of sound and then quickly disappear and also the ride cymbal which is generally larger and thicker than the crash and provides the pulse.
Clash cymbals have straps and these are brought together to provide a range of clash effects from a huge climax such as in Carmina Burana, by Orff to subtle and delicate notes such as in the 2nd movement of Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto.
Other cymbal styles are chinese cymbals, which produce an unusual quossshhyy low cymbal sound and are unique as they have upturned edges and also sizzle cymbals which is effectively a normal crash cymbal but has several holes drilled with rivets loosely inserted into the holes.

 Ride Cymbals
Such a cymbal will typically serve as both a large slow crash and a secondary ride, or it may be reserved for one purpose or the other in a particular playing situation.
Some drummers use a china cymbal, a sizzle cymbal or a specialised tone such as a swish or pang cymbal as a ride cymbal.
Exceptions are when a sizzle or china type is used as a secondary ride, when it will often be a size larger but thinner than the main ride in order to give a similar volume and sensitivity, and in big band situations where the main crash was traditionally slightly larger than the main ride.

I prefer sizzle cymbals to have the rivets disperesed around the perimeter of the cymbal because of the way the waves travel across the cymbal.
Sizzle cymbal Sizzles or "rivets" applied to cymbals give the sonic illusion of a longer sustain, and give a somewhat softer attack sound.
Sizzle cymbal Make use of the "sizzle" cymbal (rivets placed in the bow of the cymbal, or simulating this type of cymbal by placing a ball chain-purchased at a hardware.

 Sizzle cymbal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
A cymbal (circular brass plate) that sits on a stand at an angle as is part of the drum kit (drum set), and is struck with drum sticks or brushes to keep a rhythmic pulse of the composition.
The name sizzle comes from the rivets (known as sizzles) that are loosely attached to the outer rim of the cymbals to give the listener the illusion of a longer sustaining of sound with the sizzling sound of the rivets vibrating on the cymbal.
Any size (typically from 6" to 22") or weight cymbal can be made into a sizzle cymbal and it is used occasionally in a composition for the special effect that it produces.

 Informat.io on Hihat
The Hi-hat consists of two cymbals mounted on a metal stand, with a pedal pulling down on a narrow metal shaft, which is countered by a spring attached to the bottom of the shaft that repels against the upper housing of the pedal.
Modern hi-hat cymbals are much heavier than modern crash cymbals, reflecting a continual trend to lighter and thinner crash cymbals as well as to heavier hi-hats.
To produce this the cymbals are stuck twice in rapid succession, being held closed on the first stroke and allowed to open just before the second, then allowed to ring before being closed with a "chick" to complete the pattern (the cymbals may or not be struck on the "chick").

 Splash Cymbals
Splash cymbal is a small cymbal used for an accent in a drum kit.
Splash cymbals and china cymbals are the main types of effects cymbals.
Another use of a splash cymbal is to mount it stacked with a larger cymbal, that is the two are mounted between a single set of felts with a large part of the smaller top cymbal in contact with the other.

 Sizzle cymbal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most obviously, the sound of the 'wash' of the cymbal is made louder and more penetrating, and is dominated by the sound of the rattles themselves.
Also important but less obvious, the cymbal loses some of its sustain and dynamic range, because whenever there is insufficient energy left in the cymbal to lift the rattles the sound cuts out sharply.
This might be called the traditional pattern sizzle cymbal.

 MMD Archives: Amplifying a Crash Cymbal
As an aside I should remark that the amount of crash cymbal perforation cut into 165 rolls varied a lot over the years, dependent somewhat, I suppose, on the type of music, but more (it seems to me) simply on who was doing the arranging.
Mike Kitner mounted the crash cymbal on Bill Black's 165, when he rebuilt it, directly on the side of the case near the snare drum, on a vertical plane, with a beautifully long beater that operates without the positive or negative effect of gravity.
The original Wurlitzer crash cymbal had also cracked years ago from use and was replaced by the current one.

 Crash cymbal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A crash cymbal is a type of cymbal that produces a loud, sharp, but comparatively short-duration "crash" used mainly as an occasional accent effect.
Suspended crash cymbals are also used in bands and orchestras, either played with a drumstick or rolled with a pair of mallets to produce a slower more swelling crash.
A pair of identical crash cymbals held in either hand by leather thongs passing through holes in their bells are called clash cymbals, and are a standard part of an orchestral percussion section.

 Hi-hat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hi-hat consists of two cymbals mounted on a metal stand, with a pedal pulling down on a narrow metal shaft, which is countered by a spring attached to the bottom of the shaft that repels against the upper cymbal to playing.
To produce this the cymbals are struck twice in rapid succession, being held closed on the first stroke and allowed to open just before the second, then allowed to ring before being closed with a "chick" to complete the pattern (the cymbals may or not be struck on the "chick").
In both rock and jazz, often the drummer will move the same stick pattern between the hi-hat cymbal and the ride cymbal, for example using the hi-hat in the verses and the ride in the chorus of a song, or using the ride to accompany a lead break or other instrumental solo.

He tried to pass the sizzle on to me when I was 5.
The day I picked up my prized sizzle cymbal, like anything new, I sought out those whom I could tell about it, who would dig it & be excited too.
If I could show him my "grown-up" vintage sizzle ride and let him hear it, let him hear me work it, pull the overtones out of it, finesse it as experience from birth to now has taught me........Thanks for the swing, Dad.

 RaBe's Cymbal Page: Types of Cymbals
While most cymbals will work (more or less) perfectly in their intended role there is really no reason to not use a cymbal in all manners that make sense to you, the musician.
The weight is the result of the material being used, the diameter, and the thickness of a cymbal.
Bell cymbals are usually small and thick and produce narrow, ringy sounds from triangle to (small) church bell, depending on their character and how they are played.

 Peter Erskine Forum: Cymbals
I have a minor problem conserning a beautiful 22" (thin) ride cymbal i am glad to own: i can't get clear articulation (the attack is a bit weak) and in fast tempos it often starts to "roar".
I think that one sizzle cymbal in your set-up could be quite useful in any number of settings (heavy/hard rock aside, perhaps!).
It seems the cymbal weight is too thick- the rivets act as a dampener if I try to ride it at a low volume- brushes are out of the question.

 Ride cymbal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, it can apply to either the function of the cymbal in the kit or to the characteristics of the cymbal itself.
Older and modern retro style cymbals may just be labelled with their size and weight, (for example 18" medium, flat top ride) or not at all.
The ultimate decision as to the suitability of a particular cymbal for a particular purpose is up to the drummer.

Most modern cymbals are of indefinite pitch (tuned sets have been manufactured, but are rare), whereas small cup-shaped cymbals based on ancient designs sound a definite note.
Cymbals are used in modern orchestras and many military, marching, concert and other bands.
They are one of the two instrument types that form the modern drum kit, the other of course being the drum, and as such are a basic part of much contemporary music.

 Home Recording dot com BBS - Making Sizzle Cymbals?
All I know is the closer to the edge the rivets are the more pronounced the sizzle is. (and the longer they buzz).
There is also a device (with rivets mounted on it) that threads on the cymbal stand which can be folded done to make contact with the cymbal (or folded up if you don't want a sizzel).
The "best way" to install rivets is to install them on one side of a cymbal - start with one, if that is not the sound you need add a second (3 would likely be the max).

 Hi-hat cymbal
It consists of two cymbals mounted on a metal stand, with a pedal-and-spring mechanism designed such that the cymbals can either be brought together by pressing the pedal, or raised to a predetermined (but adjustable before playing) distance by releasing the pedal.
The hi-hat can be played by striking it with a drumstick or brush with the cymbals brought together ("closed"), or apart ("open"), or by using the pedal to forcefully bring the cymbal together.
They were mounted next to the pedal, so playing them with a stick was not possible.

 The Motley Fool: The Fribble, Of Sizzle Cymbals and Horn Sections, by Mike Williams
If you’re younger than twenty-five you might not be familiar with a sizzle cymbal, but as a musician growing up in the Seventies, no self-respecting drummer would be caught dead without a sizzle cymbal and roto-toms.
The cymbal was produced by taking a regular cymbal, drilling several holes into it, and inserting loose-fitting rivets.
I purchased a new CD of the greatest hits of Chicago because I wanted to use their horn section as inspiration for a project I was working on.

They'll harden up again as they vibrate but should still be soft enough to insert or remove as the fancy takes you.
