Ride cymbal

A ride cymbal is a type of cymbal that is a standard part of most drum kits.Its function is to maintain a steady rhythmic pattern,sometimes called a ride pattern, rather than to provide accents as with, for example, the crash cymbal. A drummer will normally place the main ride cymbal near their dominant hand.Striking on the bell makes a higher sound.

Listen to some Rush songs,you'll hear the bell being struck,or Son of a gun by Nirvana,the ride cymbal is clearly heard.

cymbalize

To interrupt a peaceful moment, just like a pair of cymbals clashed together would do.

John cymbalized when he walked in on Rob and Julie kissing.

flesh cymballs

The noise made by two nut sacks slapping together. Usually happens when two men are fucking doggie style. Know to happen occasionally while playing water polo.

Sven: Oh god peter your ass is so tight tonight

Peter: I know Sven, I've been working out, but shut up and fuck me harder you animal.

Sven: MmmM okay I'll just listen to the flesh cymballs

cymballs

CymBalls (plural) are a homemade alternative to felt washers and wing nuts on a drum kit. Basically a rubber ball with a hole drilled through it.

The drummer switched from felts to CymBalls, now his cymbals sound different.

China cymbal

One of the coolest cymbals ever.

Loud,trashy,raw,aggresive,and explosive sound.

Have two mounting ways,inverted or un-inverted.
Jazz drummers commonly ride larger chinas with rivets,for an exotic ride,as rock drummers invert them and smash the holy fuck out of them.
Playing an un-inverted china can lead to cymbal cracking and breaking sticks.

There are many sizes from 6" all the way up to 27",the most commonly used being 16" and 18".

Some major brands I.E. Zildjian,Paiste,Sabian,Meinl make china cymbals,but there is also a brand called Wuhan.Wuhans are more delicate than on brands, and do not have quality control(no Wuhan will sound the same).

Perfect examples of a china cymbal:
Just Like Heaven-The Cure
Bleed-Messhugah
the outro of Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd
