About 24" Ride Cymbals and Bigger

This category focuses on large-diameter ride cymbals, typically 24 inches and larger. These larger rides offer a washier, more sustained sound than smaller counterparts, often favored by drummers seeking a cinematic or atmospheric quality. Their increased size provides a broader sonic footprint, influencing the overall feel and dynamics of a drum kit.

Best For
Jazz orchestral cinematic scoring progressive rock studio recording large ensemble drumming
What to Look For
Weight (thin medium heavy) bell size and tone overall wash and sustain stick feel cymbal alloy (B8 bronze B20 bronze etc.) finish (brushed unlathed etc.)

24" Ride Cymbals and Bigger — Pros & Cons

PROS

  • Larger size produces a more encompassing and resonant wash.
  • Increased sustain allows for more complex rhythmic patterns.
  • Often offer a darker, more complex tonal character.
  • Can be surprisingly responsive despite their size.

CONS

  • Can be challenging to control dynamically for less experienced drummers.
  • Larger diameter requires more space and careful setup.
  • May overpower smaller drums in a kit if not balanced.
  • Generally more expensive than smaller ride cymbal options.

Frequently Asked Questions About 24" Ride Cymbals and Bigger

A thinner weight will offer a washier, more shimmering sound with quicker decay, while a heavier weight will provide more projection, a clearer bell tone, and longer sustain.

B20 bronze is a more common alloy offering a brighter, more complex sound, while B8 bronze tends to be darker and more mellow, often at a lower price point.

A 24” is a good starting point; it’s large enough to experience the benefits of a larger ride but remains relatively manageable for control and technique.
