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.
