For the metal and hard rock stuff I use a heavier ride (K Custom) and 13" hats on the right and a zilbel on the left - basically you have to figure out what sound will cut through and drive the parts appropriately.
I personally could not even think of playing without a ride, but guys like Tomas H. have paved a new road, and of course, many have followed.
Actually, Terry Bozzio was the guy who stopped using a ride cymbal back in the early days of Missing Persons. So people like Tomas H. are following in that guys footsteps In fact, Bozzio was one of the first guys to use another sets of hats in the ride position on a double bass kit too. And that started, well, you know.

Indeed.
Back when we used to have this thing called VHS:
The ride cymbal is for dynamic, tasteful music.
