Roland TD 17 Ride Cymbal: improve your ride sound and feel

This hack will help bring a little extra flavor to the Roland TD 17 ride samples for a more realistic sound and experience. I found this to be particularly useful in situations where nuance and subtlety are desired, in jazz or indie rock for instance. Heavy hitters will also love the bigger, richer bell sound (achieved by tweaking the recipe a bit) and more accurate physics. For this example, I used the 20" bright ride as the starting cymbal, but you can apply this recipe to any ride sample you choose. Enjoy!
