+1. If ever there was a cymbal design that was the anti-over-bearing, it's the flat ride.two words: flat ride

I suggest you to break in each 'Drum shop & Cymbal make guide' and look for "Acoustic Low Volume Rides"....
I see a lot of drummers play their ride too hard, usually because they are right handed and are riding with the strong hand, and it sounds heavy handed and not soothing. Unbalanced. I think the ride should be played at a quieter dynamic than the kick or snare. stick tips make a huge difference. A lighter touch and a smaller tip can yield a much different sound from the same cymbal.
