Cymbals come in plenty of shapes and sizes; nobody would argue that. But so many of those are common styles that are found on everybody's drum set. Of course, they're common for a reason and you'll definitely be using cymbals like the crash and ride as the foundations of your playing... but if you're looking to add some spice into the mix, it might be time to look into some effects! Instruments and add-ons like the medium-thin effect cymbals in this section can go a long way to making your sound stand out, so if you've been searching for the best way to carve out your own niche in the drumming community, this could be the place to get started.
Not every effect cymbal needs to stand on its own, either - sometimes they can go hand-in-hand with a different instrument altogether. Take the Sabian Hoop Crasher for instance. This isn't a standalone cymbal: instead, it's an add-on for a snare drum that blends its own sound
