now this would serve as an beautiful crash...may be the nicest 24" crash sound ive ever heard, and thats topping the 24" 2002 Crash. Not much of a ride, however, Alex rarely just "rides" his ride, so it doesnt surprise me that the "Big Ride" is more crash than not.
that thing is a monster and still crashes beautifully ,with a nice all around wash and glassy ,dark shimmer, unheard of for a cymbal of this magnitude ! pretty neat cymbal..
It's a Giant Beat ride with a silkier sound really, not a typical 2002. I use my 'big ride' for softer old-style stuff like rock 'n' roll or R&B; it's perfect for that and blends into the music wonderfully - - A beautiful cymbal.
@krisanton80 on the contrary , the giant beat is just as silky, but with a sharper , glassier wash, and for lack of a better word,an icier sounding crash...alex's ride is a lot darker in tonality, but still, pretty smooth sounding for a cymbal of this size!
I don't quite see how this could be used solely as a ride. THe wash is way to prevalent, especially during fast riding. That said, it sounds AMAZING as a nice crash.
Woooah he just explodes!! Nice play. Nicer cymbal.

This cymbal has a beautiful ping, as well as a excellent crash, wash, and bell.

This is not how I expected Alex Van Halen's ride to sound at all. Real nice sound, though.

its hard to believe Alex Van Halen helped create this ride as his past ride cymbals tend to be a lot pingier than this 24"...crash.
