A [ride cymbal] is a type of [cymbal] that is a standard part of most drum kits.Its function is to maintain a steady rhythmic pattern,sometimes called a ride pattern, rather than to provide accents as with, for example, the crash cymbal. A drummer will normally place the main ride cymbal near their [dominant hand].Striking on the bell makes a higher sound.
