Yea, you would have two crash cymbals to get two different sounds!. Although it's more likely you are seeing a drum kit with one crash symbol, and one ride symbol!. A ride symbol is pretty big (usually around 20 inches) and its used to keep a beat on (similar to the high hat), although you can crash it too for a more monstrous sound!.
You definately want a ride and a crash before you get two crashes, but if you're looking to buy cymbals, look at the Sabian B8 starter pack, it comes with hi-hats a ride and a crash, that will be enough to get you going!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The other guy was right!. More crashes, more sounds!. I have three crash cymbals, and I plan on getting another!. It really boils down to personal preference, but I like 14, 16 and 18 inch crashes best!. 20s tend to get kind of gong-ish!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
