Drummers add texture to the rhythm with cymbals, so that explains why there are so many variations to consider when outfitting your setup. Your choice will depend on things like your approach to playing, music genre and the different effects that you want to achieve. A major factor that you need to decide on is the thickness of the disc—it influences the sound you get when you strike it. If you're looking for medium-weight cymbals, there's a huge assortment here from well-known cymbalsmiths and in a wide range of prices. In this weight class, each crash, ride, hi-hat, china, splash and effect cymbal that you add to your drum kit will contribute to its unique percussion voice.
