Ride Cymbals
A ride cymbal is used differently to most of the other cymbals in the drum set in that it is tapped rhythmically to provide a pulse or pattern that becomes part of the music rather than being struck to provide emphasis or accent. Cymbals which provide both functions are known as crash rides
The cymbal may be struck on the major plane as standard; on thinner cymbals this can build vibration to generate a consistent tone called cymbal 'wash'.
The cymbal may also be struck on the 'bell' which gives a clear 'ping' sound of very short duration, as the name suggests.
