Description

The Paiste 14 Traditional Light Ride is a lively, full cymbal that’s great for Blues and country styles but would fit well in most genres. The signature series are a great choice when you’re looking for a ride with real character and warm, pronounced tone.

Sound Character:

Dark, low, slightly trashy, sparkling. Loose frequency range, complex mix. Soft, buttery feel, very responsive and controllable. Great for supporting ride patterns with quick crash accents.

Category

Cymbals

Cymbals add accents, timekeeping, colour and dynamics to a drum setup. This category includes hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes, Chinas and packs, each with different sizes, weights, profiles, alloys, hammering and finishes. Compare stick definition, wash, sustain, response, volume and how the cymbal will blend with the kit and musical style. A cymbal’s sound also depends on mounting and playing technique. Check the exact type and diameter, and remember that cymbal stands, bags and felts may need to be purchased separately.

Ride Cymbals

Ride cymbals provide a defined playing surface for timekeeping, with a bell and edge that can add accents or crashes. Compare diameter, weight, profile, bow response, bell size, stick definition, wash, sustain and whether the cymbal is designed to crash as well as ride. Larger or heavier rides often provide more projection, while lighter models may open more readily and blend into quieter music. Check the exact series and finish, and remember that a stand, boom, felt and wingnut are separate unless the listing says otherwise.
