You beat me to it! His ride in the quieter section of Stairway is tied with this one as well.

I used to play along to those albums as a kid.

"Rikki Don't Lose That Number", Steely Dan. That sound of the ride with the crosstick in-between the end of the refrain and each next verse is golden.

Pretty much anything Nigel Ollson played ride cymbal on

I second that emotion!

End of Chicago's "Feelin' Stronger Every Day." Quarter notes (instead of the more commonly played 8th notes) on the bell. So cool. Danny Seraphine was such an underrated drummer. Fantastic foot. Especially for the time. Cut my teeth playing with early Chicago albums. We played this in high school stage band when I was in 9th grade. Learning to play the bass and snare interchange with quarter rather than eighth notes on the ride at the end was one of my first coordination challenges.

OK, maybe the ride cymbal is in retreat but there were some magic moments.

My all time favorite - sounds like each note is being lifted out of the cymbal by the stick. Roger Hawkins.

& John Densmore made tasty use of his ride:

(Don't remember this music video)

And Charlie Watts

Anything Motown was magical. Usually a good bit of wash but just right. Those guys knew how to play MUSIC.

Jamie Oldaker had some great bluesy ride work on the whole slowhand alblum. This is probably my favorite.
