Cymbals
Cymbals are as important in most drum kits as the drums themselves. The oldest idiophones in music are cymbals, traditionally associated with Turkey where Zildjian has predominantly made them since 1623.
Beginners cymbal packs normally contain four cymbals: one ride, one crash, and a pair of hi-hats. A few contain only three cymbals, using a crash/ride instead of the separate ride and crash. The sizes closely follow those given in Common configurations below.
Most drummers soon extend this by adding another crash, a splash or a china, or even all three.
