crash/ride cymbal
Illustration — Paiste Rude 16" crash/ride A crash/ride cymbal is a medium weight, slightly tapered cymbal, normally in the 18 - range, designed to serve in a drum kit as both a crash and a ride cymbal. A ride/crash cymbal may be thought to be the same thing, but is actually different. Despite being similar in design and function to a crash/ride, it is slightly heavier and/or less tapered to optimise the ride rather than the crash function.

Overview
It is far less common than the crash/ride. Crash/ride and ride/crash cymbals have several uses: • In a very small kit, one may be the only suspended cymbal, used as both crash and ride. • Some beginners' cymbal packs have only three cymbals: A pair of hi-hats, and a crash/ride. However most cymbal packs even at entry level have separate ride and crash cymbals, and the drum hardware packs sold with most drum kits include stands for two suspended cymbals. • Many early drum kits had only one tom and one cymbal, both mounted on the bass drum.
Crash/ride cymbal is a cymbal.
