What Is The Best Way To Set Up Drum Set Cymbals?
The only rule is that there are no rules!
Generally though most setups have the high-hat on the left of the snare and the ride on the far right over the floor tom. Your other cymbals are arranged in the front area depending on what you have. For example you could put your brighter or higher pitched cymbals toward the left of center and the darker or lower pitched cymbals to the right. The middle area is much more personalized.

going from left to right: hihat, crash, crash, splash, crash, splash. ride, china, china, crash. thats the setup i use and it works pretty well. keep everything packed in tight but not too tight otherwise when you hit a cymbal it will smack into another

So you can reach them and hit them.
Generally you want the crash almost in front of you, between the snare and hihat, between the snare and rack toms.
Ride cymbal by the floor tom area.
2nd crash to the other side of the rack toms so you can go from crash to crash.
CHina off to the side or behind you.
Use a counter weighted boom stand if required.

The other answers have some good suggestions. I went to a workshop with Freddie Waits and he sets up two crashes BEHIND him. One at his left shoulder & one at his right. He just reaches back a little when he needs the crash! It is amazing. When I have enough stage room I do this and it really works great!
