Solid, steady, and continuous, they call them rides for a reason. The ride cymbal is a significant component of a cymbal set, and the different sounds and dynamics that can be achieved from playing this cymbal depends on each drummer's individual style, and how they utilize their piece. Much like the cymbal itself, the ride market is huge. But regardless of your own tastes and preferences, you can bet that we have the ride cymbal you need to sustain a long, satisfying journey in the world of drumming.

When it comes to drum kits, an essential part of keeping the groove lies in the ride cymbal. While the crash cymbal is loud and explosive, the ride cymbal creates a shimmering, continuing sound. More often than not, the ride cymbal is also the largest cymbal of a basic drum-kit. Simply put, it's an all-around important cymbal to include in your set up, and there's an exceptional range of styles and brands to choose from. For a ride that's perfect for aggressive music styles, the Paiste Alpha Rock ride cymbal contains a brilliant finish with a full, solid and bright character. Complete with a pronounced, glossy ping and a controlled wash, Paiste alpha cymbals are designed specifically for the hardest hitters.

For a good, all around cymbal though, the Meinl Medium ride cymbal is great for Latin, jazz, pop and country styles, offering a warm basic sound, and superb medium sustain. Another great choice is the Sabian AAX Omni ride. With an extra thin edge and medium center, this ride is also double as a fantastic crash. A lot of beginners don't realize that there are different types of ride cymbals, each of which have their own specific, ringing sound. Rides with large bells tend to cut through a song better, making them a rock bands preferred choice. However, ride cymbals with smaller bells can achieve a sound that's quite similar to a crash. When searching for a ride cymbal, try to keep these thoughts in mind. These days there are more than enough options to pick from. Just take a look around and see for yourself.
