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.

It depends on how you want to use it - for example, you might want it close to the hi hat for popping in little accents. Or you might want it closer to the snare if you're in a pit band and playing 20s style stuff.

∙ 13y agoI've seen drum sets that have an attachment that connects to the bass drum rim in
between the toms that the cow bell sits on and I personally have attached my cow
bell to one of my cymbal stands. Really you can put it wherever is best suited for you.
Remember if you are setting up "your" kit shouldn't it be set-up best for "your" body?

What is Better a ride or a rock ride cymbal?
If you're a beginner, it's probably better to start out with a normal ride cymbal. But if you're looking to play rock or metal, you'll want to go with the rock ride
What kind of cymbals would be used to play classic rock?
ride, crash, hi hat and sometimes a splash or a china cymbal. personally, i'd go with Zildjian
How do you turn a crash cymbal into a China?
You will need a pneumatic planishing hammer. About two and a half inches in from the out-side you need to center the hammer and go around the cymbal until it is curved up all the way around at about 45 degrees. Also to get the proper sound it will need to be a thin ride, a crash would most likely work better.
Is a drum used in a bass clef or a treble clef?
"A drum" has many meanings. For the sake of space, let's consider three drums: -Bass drum (and cymbal) -Snare drum -Tympani The bass drum is ordinarily notated on a bass clef staff, or a staff with a percussion 'clef'. In the first case, the F clef has its dots on either side of the fourth line up (as it is for other instruments which use it) and the bass drum is often notated in the bottom space (which would be A). This is no indication of the actual pitch of the Bass drum. The cymbal is often notated on one of the upper spaces. Noteheads are used for bass strikes while it is customary to use an X as the 'notehead' for the cymbal. The second case involves a special clef, invented long after the others, which consists of two thin parallel lines which go from the second to the fourth line. Bass drum and cymbal will be notated much the same as with the Bass clef. These two instruments are often placed together on one staff because they tend to alternate (especially in marching band or popular music) and a cymbal can be mounted on the shell of the bass drum so that the player holds the bass drum beater in one hand and the second cymbal in the other, and alternates them. The Snare drum is often notated on the third space up from the bottom, either between the Cymbal and Bass drum, on the Bass clef, or in the same manner with the percussion clef. The tympani are notated on a bass clef staff, and the note heads are placed to indicate the expected pitch. This is especially important when the pedal tymnpani are used, with an indicator or without, and the notes for each kettledrum changes through the composition. An historical note: at one time the tympani were notated on the D and G lines, and tuned to approximately those notes. Then, they were played high and low without regard to the actual key of the piece, pitch of the bass/cello/tuba notes, and without a care for the current key of the piece. (i.e., a piece that starts in C would have C and G as the two bass notes, but the kettledrums would just bang along on D and G. This has changed significantly since the time that this was considered acceptable. There are two theories: one is that the tympanist would tune the drums to the tonic and fifth of the starting key (and perhaps, if he was quick, retune with the changes in key) and the other is that the drums were simply tuned to g and d and left that way all the time.
What is a drums pitches?
yes... well kind of. Toms can have their pitch changed by tightening or loosening the drum head. ( the tighter it is, the higher the pitch. the looser it is, the deeper its pitch) You can change the sound cymbals make by how hard you hit them, and were you hit them. for example if u hit the edge of a ride cymbal, its makes a low long lasting sound, but if u hit the top it makes a short, high pitched sounds. You can also change the sound of cymbals by turning them upside down, which affects how the echo. I hope this helped! further clarification: toms and cymbals are referred to as "unpitched percussion", while some other drums, like timpani, have a more exact pitch, and are called, therefore, pitched percussion. what creates this distinction is how many overtones and how strong the overtones of the drum are. with a tom, for instance, there is no pitch that specifically is a "fundamental tone" but several clusters of tones ring out along the pitch spectrum, so that all you hear is its characteristic thud. it is technically "noise" and not "pitch". so, this is how you can have a relatively "low" or "high" tom, but you can't necessarily play a clear A440 tone from said drum.

How do you make a drum kit sound like a Zebra?
This is EXTREMELY difficult to do but it IS possible. The first step is to make your drum kit LOOK like a zebra. Order custom zebra-print drum shells from your drum manufacturer. Or, better yet, if your drum set is already white, grab a black sharpie and go crazy!!Now that your drum set looks like a zebra it's time to make it SOUND like one!! One way many percussionists make their drum set mimic the sound of a zebra is to take a violin bow, place it perpendicular to the crash or ride cymbal, place you index finger lightly on the bottom of the cymbal, and then slide the bow down the cymbal while pushing hard against the cymbal. After some practice it should begin to sound IDENTICAL to a dying zebra.Of course, if you want to mimic the sound of a LIVING zebra that is much more difficult and only a couple percussionists have mastered the art today. Try playing a basic rock beat on hi-hat, bass, and snare. While doing so, sneakily begin to neigh (make it more of a high-pitched squeal, similar to the sound donkeys make). Allow your voice to grow louder and louder until you are practically screaming. Your audience won't be able to tell if you are making the noise or if your drum set sounds like a Zebra!!!!Good luck and be sure to post a video to Youtube once you master the technique!
