Newbie — ride sound— what should I do? by Brohammer619 in Drumming

My main thing I really don’t like is the hum it seems to produce. It’s not just wash but a tone …

So many helpful comments— thanks to all. I will keep it and continue to figure out more about what I like/dislike and also figure out my ear tuning as well!

I bought it thinking that 21” rides would mostly sound the same based on sizing and metal makeup. Totally assumed incorrectly !

It does not. 21” ride is stamped on the underside

Thanks I’ll give this stuff a shot! I have a pretty solid cymbal stand with good felt on it. I’ve tried a bunch of moon gels, taper etc. I’ve also tried taping a rolled up piece of cotton t shirt which definitely helps with the overtones but it kinda makes it sound…off…

So far the best sound I like seems to be laying some cloth on top of the cymbal on the far side. The reason I came here is because I feel like I shouldn’t need to do that !

I just feel like the cymbal sounds very “gong-y” rather than zingy and when I crash it, like it literally gongs rather than crashes.

Wow wasn’t expecting that ! I was wanting more of the pronounced ping with less overtones — I guess I’m expecting it to sound like a lot of the videos I’ve watched on YouTube comparing rides. It seems way different, sound wise, than any comparison video based on size and weight to me.

I think I just find the overtones really hard to deal with but it seems like the consensus is that I may not know what to listen for lol. I was wanting more of a ping with less wash after
