RideLarger Text + | Smaller Text - Ride CymbalsThe ride cymbal is a common fixture in a drum kit configuration. It serves a function similar to that of a hi-hat, namely to maintain a steady pattern. It is often a larger and heavier cymbal, thus giving it increased volume and longer sustain. A drummer may alternate play between the hi-hat and ride. By using different sizes, weights, and styles of rides, a player can chose the one best suited for any musical style and mode of play.
