The ride cymbal is one of the largest cymbals on a drum kit, typically 18–24 inches. It’s designed to keep steady rhythm and provide a “riding” pulse throughout a song. Played with the tip of the stick on its bow or bell, it produces a clear, sustained “ping” with shimmering wash underneath. The ride anchors the groove, offering both precision and texture, and is essential in everything from jazz to rock.
