Yes, cymbals do work. I have a 16" medium crash on a plate stand between mine, and it slightly increases a perception of openness as well as center image focus. I use it with the top of the bell facing me.
Interesting topic. I’ve seen people experiment with all kinds of instruments in the room, including placing violins / acoustic guitars and other string instruments on the front wall. Obviously some methods are more expensive than others, kinda depends on what you may own. Would be interested to read more about what has worked best for people.
