Where does a ride cymbal go on a drum set? |
[Edit] |
Well, this really all depends on where it feels more comfortable for you.
Traditionally the ride cymbal goes (if you are right handed) on your right side just behind and in between the 2nd tom and floor tom. And vice versa if you are left handed (left side just behind and in between the 2nd tom and floor tom.)
But it doesn't have to go there...there is not any written rule as to where you ride should go. You could have it just beneath you crash and ride-crash cymbals between the first and 2nd toms.
You could have it underneath your ride-crash or crash...as long as it doesn't get in the way of your toms or other cymbals, it can practically go anywhere.
Try moving it around and see which feels right to you, that's all that matters.
Hope this helped.

Put it where you are comfortable to stay on it for lengths at a time. Yes on the right if you're a righty, but moreover, where it is available say after you hit a crash cymabal within easy reach is best.
