Welcome to Cymbal Fest #2 Flat Rides. These videos focus on cymbals that are played in random order so that you can get a good idea of what different types and models of cymbals sound like compared to one another.
In this Part 2, I demonstrate 13 different flat ride cymbals sized from 16" to 24". My wife Jennifer is assisting me here, so I do not have to stop to switch them. These are rides that I use mostly in the Jazz and Latin genre.
Here is the list with time stamps:
0:00 Introduction
2:32 Paiste 20" Traditional Flat w/8 rivets. Weight=2038 grams
3:52 Paiste 18" Traditional Flat w/2 rivets. Weight=1497 grams

The first time I played a flat ride I was so confused and intrigued. Now they're my favorite cymbals.

I love flatrides. Great to hear you play them. The Paistes and Bosphorus are the best.

Absolutely adore a nice sounding flat ride, but it takes a pro like you, Rick, to get the most out of them. Beautifully done!

Amazing playing Rick. The first cymbal I bought with my own money just over a year ago now was a Dream Flat Earth ride just like yours, I love it to bits, though I can't say I love the sound of all flat rides. The Bosphorus 24" at the end of this video though.. oh man

So many people underestimate how useful cymbals like this can be, they're perfect for playing behind an unamplified guitarist or vocalist.

Thanks to your earlier video on mostly Paiste flats, I listened to Matrix non stop. Rick what do you think of the Paiste Masters Flat? I know you don’t like Masters generally as a departure from what made the traditionals unique, but it is pretty unusually crashable for a flat, but not like Istanbuls at all. And of course the iconic Charlie Watts UFIP, kind of hard to find.

Rick you should check out a flat ride by Timothy Roberts Cymbals. He's a cymbalsmith feom North Carolina, he is crazy good!!!! His flat rides are classic sounding flat rides but you can get a great crash out of it as well!! Also, hello Jennifer! 😁👋

imho... flat rides are made for sensitive and soulful playing in wich the focus is on the cymbal and not so much on the dums . Maybe that's just my opinion . I'll never forget listening to Danny Gottlieb's amazing flat ride (Paiste of course ;) sound playing with the Pat Metheny Group .
