I’m looking for a ride with a clear, high-pitched ping, and very little wash. What wash there is should be mid-range, or mid/high range. Any ideas? Does this even exist in nature? Lol
AAXmetal ride will put hells bells to shame - mine weighs at 3106 grams, it’s a heavy weight. The bell ping is clear and cutting, think Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson.I’m looking for a ride with a clear, high-pitched ping, and very little wash.

Most ping rides are in the medium-heavy to heavy range. As a cymbal's weight increases, its stick definition usually follows suite. A dominant frequency often emerges, enhancing cut and reducing wash. To dry the cymbal, a strip of tape can perhaps be applied inconspicuously to its underside.
So essentially, I should get a ping ride and put some gaff tape on it? I never thought about that. I actually like the ride I have, it’s just too washy. I’ll try the gaff tape.
I used to absolutely hate the ping of a ride cymbal, I had rivets on mine. Now the absolute opposite is true, I took the rivets out and am looking to hear the ping even more clearly.
I prefer more definition and less wash from my ride as well. Clear, succinct notes just pack more punch in my opinion. They stand out better in the overall mix.

Funny, I used to absolutely hate wash and want as much ping as possible; now I think I'm starting to go in the opposite direction.I used to absolutely hate the ping of a ride cymbal, I had rivets on mine.
