Back in the "Olden Days" when drummers and cymbal makers were trying to figure out exactly what a ride was or should be, a lot of players used smaller cymbals to fill that need than we typically do now.
I'm wondering if there are any users (regular or otherwise) of odd size rides? These two videos (badly shot and poorly drummed in a hurry during set up) are of a c.1950 Trans Stamp Zildjian 16in 1525g that I'm sure was intended as a ride cymbal. They would have basically been sold to fill the need of cafe playing jazz trios.
What do ya think? Do we need something like this these days? Anybody out there use these little monsters?
