Ok, so I am currently studying "if 6 was 9" by Hendrix. I am using the book "experience Hendrix", and in the chart for the song it says above a sixteenth note grouping on the ride cymbal "on crown." What does this mean?

The only reference to cymbal crown that I can find is the quick release kind that go on the end of stands. Other than that I'm only aware of three areas of a cymbal, the bell, the bow and the edge.
Given that the very definition of the word "crown" refers to terms like top, or head, or uppermost, or pinnacle.....I think it's safe to assume it means the bell.

I think the crown of a cymbal is the curve of it as it turns down. Various ride cymbals have varying degrees of crown.
Roads have crowns, it's the high part of a road. A cymbal bow has a high part too. I'd say it's the highest part of the bow, and not the bell at all.
