I have owned the following that could be called crash-ride cymbals (all Sabian)
21" AA Bash Ride (my favorite ride ever, now at the church I play at)
20" AA El Sabor Ride (no longer own it)
20" HHX Evolution Ride (I have it now)
18" AA El Sabor (no longer own it)
18" AA Crash-ride (no longer own it because the crash sound was too high pitched)
18" SR2 Thin (I have it now)
To get a good amount of ping vs. wash, one must play all of these near the bell / middle. The closer one plays to the edge, the washier (and less pingy) it gets. To me there is an art to playing this kind of cymbal that some drummers do not get. What do you think? Peace and goodwill.
