3 to 5 depending on the gig.
How many cymbals do you use?
i use 4 myself, not including the hi-hat.
When drummers are away from their instruments, which is quite often, they often resort to air drumming. Although often distracting to others, playing air drums provides drummers with a mental practice session that can help a great deal.
16" medium thin crash, 18" medium thin crash, 20" rock ride, 14" hi-hats (all Zildjian).
ooo haha i have a medium crash zildjian cymbal peice in my wallet.

haha. I need an 18" crash. The 12" & 14" chinas were picked up because the shop had a killer deal. They're actually World Percussion brand. I got both new for $30!!! I don't have stands for them yet... The crash is what I need though.

3 crashes , ride , and of course HH
I use 6 Paiste ( 14", 16", 18" crashes, 20" ride, 14" china, and 10" splash) cymbals, 14" zildjian hihats, and 4 Roland PD-7 pads, so I guess that would make 11.
4 B8 Sabians (thin crash, splash, ride and medium crash) Most venues i play in are quite small for space so 4 does me fine
2 crash ,1 ride and HH
Re: How many cymbals do you use?
Four + HH. Ride, splash and two crashes. All 2oo2.
Re: How many cymbals do you use?
Hi-hats, ride, 3 crashes, and a splash.

Re: How many cymbals do you use?
Depends on the situation.
As many as 3 crashes, 2 splashes, a china splash, regular china, hats and ride.
Or a more minimal setup would have 2 crashes, maybe a splash, hats and ride.
Over the next few Sundays I should know how and if I will incorporate the X-hats into things. It may just be something I play with at home, or they may become a regular part of the kit. Only time will tell.
Re: How many cymbals do you use?
Usually 2. 1 ride, 1 crash, but sometimes 2 crashes on special occasions.
all the best...
Re: How many cymbals do you use?
HH, Ride, 3 crashes, 2 splashes, 1 china

Re: How many cymbals do you use?
Seven, in this order of frequency:
1) 14" Sabian AA Metal-X hats (duh)
2) 18" Sabian AAX Metal crash (it's my riding crash)
3) 15" Sabian AAXplosion crash (constant accents)
4) 18" Sabian AAXplosion fast crash (double-handed accents mainly)
5) 20" Sabian AA Metal-X ride (I just don't use the ride a lot)
6) 18" Sabian AA Metal-X Chinese (my go-to China)
7) 16" Wuhan China (this one's on my left side, so it doesn't get a lot of use)
Now my poor high tom, that thing gets like no love.
I was thinking of getting some small splashes, but now I'm thinking of getting a 17" crash and using the 15" as my splash. Honestly it's as high of a pitch as I need from a cymbal.

Re: How many cymbals do you use?
These days, when I'm rockin', my must haves are 20" ride, 16" crash, 10" splash, and 18" crash. Occasionally, I'll include my 18" China. When playing at church, just the 20" ride.
