Hi Darcy, The way I understand itCrash Cymbal is singular (not plural)...it is a suspended cymbal. But this term is often mixed up because Clash Cymbals are the two cymbals that are hit together like plates... (hence Piatti...pl.) Often folks will say Crash Cymbals when what is

I don't know about its being a malapropism, but it's certainly a redundancy. Piatti is just the standard It. term for the pair (piatto/piatti) of symphonic clashed cymbals. A crash cymbal to me is something on a drum kit, along with the ride, splash cymbals etc. At 05:08 PM 8/26/2005, you

I'm curious about the use of crash cymbals versus clash symbols. As I said, in classical circles, I have always heard (and used) crash cymbals to mean hand-held cymbals. I have never heard the term crash cymbals applied to suspended cymbals except in jazz circles. However, if clash
