How many cymbals does a drum have?
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.
How many drums should a drum set have?
Drums, Cymbals, and Other Components. A standard drum set usually contains four drums: a snare, bass, mounted tom (sometimes two mounted toms) and a floor tom.
How many cymbals do I need?
You need at least 20 to be good at the drums but two should work. Less is more at this stage, ride and hats are really the only things you will need for now. Some people will say just hats but utilizing the left foot is easier to grasp while playing a ride for most people in the beginning.
What are drum set cymbals called?
Ride Cymbals
Every drum set includes a hi-hat. Most beginner drum sets also include a ride and at least one crash cymbal. For cheaper sets, there may be a single cymbal which acts as both a ride and a crash cymbal (called a 'ride-crash' cymbal). However, there are a lot of other options available.
