Frequently Asked Questions About 22" Ride Cymbals

Thin rides generally offer a more washy, shimmering sound with quicker response, while heavier rides provide more defined stick articulation and a fuller, more sustained tone.

A larger bell typically produces a louder, more prominent 'ping' when struck, while a smaller bell blends more seamlessly with the overall cymbal wash.
