What's a good ride cymbal?
I got the sudden urge to play drums this week and I gotta say I am having a lot of fun with it. My bro has an old Yamaha Custom kit that he never plays, complete with a double bass pedal and all the goodies, but he broke his ride cymbal a long time ago and never replaced it so I have a splash, crash, and a really crappy sounding crash ride but no bell ride. I do love the sound of a good bell ride (I abuse it to no end in Drumkit from Hell) so I really need one of these puppies.

What's a good bell ride? I found this Zildjian Mega Bell Z custom thing that looks sick but it might be just too much. I'll leave it to the real drummers to recommend me something though...

Do you want a bright sounding ride or a little darker one ?

I would think a brighter sounding one that has a big bell on it so I can practice that nice "ping" sound.

Go to zildjian.com, sabian.com, paiste.com, and meinlcymbals.com

Each site has a way to hear a sound sample of each cymbal. Experiment around and compare, see what you like. It's how I decided on the Sabian Paragon cymbals for my kit!

Paiste rides always sound so clear and perfect to me. A lot of zildjians tend to have a weird 'hum' to them. almost gong-like - but it's definitely an undertone that's more prominent in the decay of the wash. (when i think of gong sounding rides, i'm usually describing the main wash).

i wouldn't write off zildjian, since that undertone may get lost in a band.

also - the Sabian Paragon rides sound like damn fine all-around riding. just 'rock' enough to be agressive, but more musical than anything.
