I watched a few videos of a guy on YouTube that uses a 20" AA Meinl Ride and it's a Crashing Ride but it sounds amazing and having the option to ping or crash it looks amazingly helpful the way he uses it. Here's the link to the vid. Please watch and see if you can tell what it is or let me know if there's one like that that sounds better and especially if I'm making a mistake. I currently have a 20" Sabian AA Rock Ride. Anyways, Here's the link:

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

Yeh i just watched that youtube vid and some of his other videos and i think im in love with it aswell....i want one

Is it just the Meinl Byzance Medium Ride 20"? It doesn't say it's a crash/ride on the website so I wasn't for sure. Thanks!

Also, does Sabian or even Zildjian make a Cymbal like that? I'm thinking about completely redoing my Cymbal setup so it doesn't really matter what brand I just want the best sounding cymbal for this type of cymbal. Thanks Guys!

Stump swears by the Zildjian Sweet Ride for a good ride that can be crashed or rode.

I've tried to read on that guys info and it seems like they say it's not actually a crash/ride he just uses it as one. But, I've tried to crash my Rock Ride and let me just say if it's not made for crashing it won't crash. I'm not sure of what model of Meinl it is exactly though.

I'll have to look into that Sweet Ride I believe I've read somewhere before that it's versatile for both. Any more suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

In case you guys didnt notics..he has a bell mounted upside down on top of that cymbal which is adding to the sound.
