I’ve also seen a few non-German composers use “Becken.” Additionally I have a handful of Boosey & Hawkes scores (UK publisher) which just say “Cymbals” which I believe means the same as Clash/Piatti/Becken - by default (suspended only if specified). Something for everyone!
(apologies to OP for going slightly off-topic haha)
HaHa Suspended Cymbals, Sizzle Cymbals, Clash Cymbals, Splash Cymbals, Crash Cymbals ands Piatti.
Well, here in the US, and particularly in school settings, the common term is “Crash Cymbals” as opposed to “Suspended Cymbals”. I think the nomenclature here evolved from dance band and military band settings.
But those are two different things – crash cymbals are the ones you hold in each hand and play against each other; a suspended cymbal is a single cymbal on a stand that you play with sticks or mallets.
Correct, but we never use “clash” to mean “crash”. It even feels weird to say out loud. 
And don’t get me started on piatti…
Yeah… I wrote my statement oddly.
As others have remarked, “clash” seems to be British and “crash” is US. Although a crash cymbal (singular) can also be a type of (suspended) cymbal found in a drum kit, as opposed to a ride cymbal.
