FWIW, I was in GC today and I played a Sabian "Bash" ride. I gotta say, I really liked it. Don't let the name influence you, it sounded nothing like what I thought it would. I would have bought it but I'm good on rides.
As an aside, I went in the cymbal room and I played over 100 cymbals. Out of all them, there were only 2 I liked, both Sabians. Well 3 including the bash ride which was on the showroom floor with a kit. I don't know what it is but it seems like something's wrong when only 2% of the cymbals appealed to me.
Also, there is no such thing as a best ride cymbal. That would be too easy.
