More often than not, the ride cymbal is also the largest cymbal of a basic drum-kit.

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.

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.
