What sound does a ride cymbal make?

The sound of a ride varies hugely depending on where it is hit. The bell (the bit around the cymbal mount) produces a sharp bell 'ping' sound, with low sustain, whilst the bow produces a more subtle, familiar cymbal sound. This variation makes the ride an incredibly versatile cymbal.

What is the sounds of a cymbals?

Clang! Those are the sounds made by a cymbal — a loud percussion instrument that is part of most drum kits. One of the most fun parts of being a drummer has to be hitting the cymbals, a crashing, clanging instrument that, as you may have guessed, is very loud.

How do I make my ride cymbal quieter?

Drum mutes are a quick and easy way to reduce drum volume. They're soft rubber pads that you place on top of your drumheads, and the benefit here is that you can instantly remove them when you want to play at full volume. Drum mutes are also available for cymbals, and they will dramatically reduce cymbal volume.
