A ride cymbal is a type of cymbal that is a standard part of most drum kits.Its function is to maintain a steady rhythmic pattern,sometimes called a ride pattern, rather than to provide accents as with, for example, the crash cymbal. A drummer will normally place the main ride cymbal near their dominant hand.Striking on the bell makes a higher sound.
Listen to some Rush songs,you'll hear the bell being struck,or Son of a gun by Nirvana,the ride cymbal is clearly heard.

The noise made by two nut sacks slapping together. Usually happens when two men are fucking doggie style. Know to happen occasionally while playing water polo.
Sven: Oh god peter your ass is so tight tonight
Peter: I know Sven, I've been working out, but shut up and fuck me harder you animal.
Sven: MmmM okay I'll just listen to the flesh cymballs

One of the coolest cymbals ever.
Loud,trashy,raw,aggresive,and explosive sound.
Have two mounting ways,inverted or un-inverted.
Jazz drummers commonly ride larger chinas with rivets,for an exotic ride,as rock drummers invert them and smash the holy fuck out of them.
Playing an un-inverted china can lead to cymbal cracking and breaking sticks.
There are many sizes from 6" all the way up to 27",the most commonly used being 16" and 18".
Some major brands I.E. Zildjian,Paiste,Sabian,Meinl make china cymbals,but there is also a brand called Wuhan.Wuhans are more delicate than on brands, and do not have quality control(no Wuhan will sound the same).

Perfect examples of a china cymbal:
Just Like Heaven-The Cure
Bleed-Messhugah
the outro of Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd

the moment before somebody something stupid. Although it may look like their thinking their actually is a monkey playing cymbals and occasionally doing back flips where their brain should be.

When a girl is giving you head upside down, making her face turn bright red, and you finish into your hands and proceed to slap her with them simultaneously, as if clapping a cymbal.

Awesome indie rock band from Staten Island. Sometimes incorrectly mentioned as blatant rip-offs of Pavement or other '90s indie rock bands; in reality CEG have a sound that is completely their own. Why There Are Mountains was one of the best records of the 2000s.
Have you heard that new Cymbals Eat Guitars record yet?
I'm seeing Cymbals Eat Guitars tonight, should be a good show.
