What is a standard cymbal setup?
A standard setup comprises a ride cymbal (typically 20 inch), a crash cymbal (typically 16 inch) and hi-hat cymbals (typically 14 inch) – These are a pair of cymbals horizontally mounted which can be crashed together with a hi-hat pedal, or played closed with a stick. Many players choose to add crashes (14 inch – 19 inch), splash cymbals (6 inch – 12 inch) or china cymbals (10 inch – 18 inch) to enhance their sound.
