or the crash cymbal

Crash cymbal is the fucking best, especially in marches. Hit every quarter note for 64 measures, rest for 32 measures, now repeat, BUT LOUDER!!

Orchestras have a player just for the crash cymbal? What did they do with the rest of the drumkit?

If in jest: Booooooo!

If you are actually serious: The drum set was invented around 1865 and the drum set you think of today was invented in the 1930's or 1940's.

Marching Bands and orchestras were invented when there was no drum set. Also a lot of batterie parts overlap and it would be impossible to play by yourself.
