Super clean, slightly washy, but not harsh ride cymbal

[Steech]

Hellooo!

Any recommendations for a crystal clear, clean, and slightly washy ride cymbal with a clean bell that does not have the word “Constantinople” in its name?

I’d prefer a 21” or 22” if possible.

Thanks!

A sweet ride brilliant can be great for this

Anytime I see the words crystal clear in reference to cymbals, it's Paiste that comes to mind. My only experience is with the Masters line, however, I'm inclined to believe a heavier 2002 or Signature model would fit the bill.

Rides - Paiste

Ride cymbals are larger and usually thicker cymbals, which are mainly used for playing rhythmic figures on the surface and the bell, but they can also be crashed. Ride figures are the most prominant and colorful part of the original rhythm created together with the bass drum and the snare. Ride...

Or a Paiste 602 in your preferred weight and size

21" A medium ride does that and they are available for $100 all day every day.

I have both 21 and 22 Signature Prototype rides and love them but they’re just not quite clean or glassy enough for me. 2002s may be an option though.

There is something magical about the 21” A Custom Medium ride, at least that’s been my experience. I have a 20” 60s Avedis that fits the description, but isn’t as big as you are asking for. You could also likely find a Sabian AAX Stage or Studio ride (I would prefer the studio), and recently I posted an alert that Dale’s Drum Shop had a Sabian 21” Bash ride really cheap — those are very washy.

I heard a 22" Sabian Ed Thigpen Crystal ride which sounds as you describe.

I have 20" and 22" medium thin Bosphorus Traditional rides which also might work.
