First, I'll talk about the China splash cymbal. The China splash cymbal is merges the China cymbal and the splash cymbal. The size is from 6 to 10 inches generally. This cymbal is put on a stand. However the splash cymbal and the China cymbal can combine as a combined cymbal. This cymbal's sound quality is lighter than the China cymbal, but this cymbal is more powerful than the splash cymbal. This cymbal's sound has longer duration than the China cymbal, so it uses to accent sound instead of splash cymbal. I used Guitar Center's video. Thank you!

Second, I'll explain the bell cymbal. The form is kind of like a bowl. The setting is the same as with a normal cymbal. Sound quality is powerful and the afterglow is long. It is similar in duration to the China cymbal. However, it's hardly used to beat the rhythm. I prepared an image and clip. I used CHANG CYMBAL 's video. Thank you!

Actually, Cymbals are separated accorting to a standard. The standard is having a unique sound or not. The hi-hat cymbal, ride cymbal, crash cymbal are called suspended cymbals. The China cymbal and splash cymbal have a unique sound, so they are called effect cymbals.
Finally, I'll introduce the double bass drum. This is a playing style, not an instrument.
Two bass drums are used instead of one. It is often used in "Hard Rock" and "Heavy Metal", especially speedy songs such as "Thrash Metal", "Extreme Metal" and "Death Metal". However, many drummers don't play this style because, we need more space and if we set two bass drums, we can't hit the tom-tom. This style is decreasing because we can use a twin pedal to get the same effect.
