What ride cymbal do you use?
When used in quick succession, all three are obviously from the same "family," but each has a slightly different "personality," if you will.

I don't place a lot of emphasis on blending, but rather, I seek to obtain a stark differential in tones. Considering that I play Paiste exclusively, blending happens (more or less) genetically with this maker, so creating distinction in sound between each is my focus.
As C.M. Jones, mentioned, I, too, prefer working with a format of smallest on my left, to largest on my right, but as for each crash cymbal complimenting each other, not at all.
As it stands, I have two crashes, a 2002, 24", and a 2002, 22", both of which are from the Classic line, however, within the next few months I'll be adding an additional 4-5 more crashes to my setup. Like a painters palette, I want a wide variety and spectrum at my disposal when I'm behind my kit. I don't want to be limited.
