Brian McConnon Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 If you're looking for a dry ride cymbal with great definition, check out the Zildjian Uptown Ride. At only 18", I think this one gets overlooked a lot. This thing has got something... different. I love Phil Selway's (Radiohead) cymbal sound and saw he used an 18" Breakbeat Ride on a lot of their recordings and live. The Uptown Ride is based on that model which is now discontinued. Very similar look and sound. It cuts nicely on live gigs and the dry sound works great for the type of music I'm using it for (punk-ska). I also love my 21" Sweet Ride for a more traditional sound, but it's nice to have a different tonal option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Nice recommendation. While rides tend to be big and my latest is 22", the smaller 18" size does cut better and does not have as much of that low mud that needs to be filtered out. 1 Quote This post edited for speling.
