If you're talking about the cymbols you just crash together, I assume the music would only show the beats you play on. Since there is only one tone, there is no need for musical notes. How it's shown, however, I'm not sure of. So all you would need to know is time signatures, note and rest duration, and all that beat-related stuff, if you don't know it already. Although I could be completely wrong about the whole thing... I really don't know anything about percussion instruments and how they read music. Just giving my 2 cents. Just keep on looking or ask someone who knows about it.

For marching band, they often use tonal cymbals (like tonal bass drums). If this is what you mean, the "staff will have four spaces. each space represents a different cymbal.
If you mean on drum set music, it varies but there is usually a "legend" at the beginning of the piece which tells you what is what. Try this link: http://www.drumrhythms.com/english/tablature/tabslintroeng.htm
As far as the other notation, when the composer wants a choke (where the player stops the sound immediately after the crash) he/she will write an x. If the cymbals are to ring, it will be an x with an arch or dash after it.
GOOOOOOROOOOOO
