====Ride cymbal====
{{main|Ride cymbal}}

The ride cymbal is most often used for keeping a constant rhythm pattern, every beat or more often, as the music requires. Development of this ride technique is generally credited to jazz drummer [[Baby Dodds]].<ref name="pas">{{cite web | url=http://www.pas.org/experience/halloffame/DoddsWarren.aspx | title=Warren 'Baby' Dodds | publisher=The Percussive Arts Society | access-date=21 November 2011 | quote=Dodds' way of playing press rolls ultimately evolved into the standard jazz ride-cymbal pattern. Whereas many drummers would play very short press rolls on the backbeats, Dodds would start his rolls on the backbeats but extend each one to the following beat, providing a smoother time flow. | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927104938/http://www.pas.org/experience/halloffame/DoddsWarren.aspx | archive-date=27 September 2011 }}</ref>

Most drummers have a single main ride, located near their dominant hand{{snd}}within easy playing reach, as it is used regularly{{snd}}often a 20"–22" in diameter, but diameters of 16"–26" are not uncommon. It is usually a medium-heavy- to heavy-weight cymbal whose sound that cuts through other instrumental sounds. Some drummers use a [[swish cymbal]], [[sizzle cymbal]], or other exotic or lighter metal rides, as the main or only ride in their kit, particularly for jazz, gospel, or ballad/folk sounds. In the 1960s, [[Ringo Starr]] of the [[The Beatles|Beatles]] used a sizzle cymbal as a second ride, particularly during guitar solos.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/ringos-cymbal-sound.111931/|title=Ringo´s cymbal sound|website=Steve Hoffman Music Forums|language=en-US|access-date=2019-02-22}}</ref>
