Live in the garden he used Zildjian Avedis 20" medium ride and he had been using it for quite a long time, but as you can clearly see on SYNERGY site on sony, for two boston shows he did use Zildjian K ride of same size and for VFC tour he used Z Custom ride....but probably A 20" medium ride would work best for you,you can crash it, it has nice wash but still recognizable stick definition and nice bell sound....
But i think that you should use your ears to guide you....
Actually, the ride Matt is using on MSG is a 21" Sweet Ride. He hasn't used a medium since the 2000 tour, though for much of that he also used a K and a 20" A Custom Ride, which was on the far right and often used as a crash. He also used a K ride for part of the VFC tour, until switching to the Z.
If your looking for a good ride, you just have to go to a drum store and play them till you find one you like. I personally have been playing drums for 20 years and just recently found the perfect ride for me, a 21" Sabian AAX Stage Ride, great ping and a nice wash. I also own the same A Custom Matt used, which has a lot more was and a very delicate ping.

SO TRUE.
If there's a store near you that has a good selection, take your sticks down and hit a few of 'em. Try to figure out what you want as far as response (do you want the ability to crash it, or is it JUST a ride? How much ping, how much wash, and will you use the bell?) and look for a cymbal that responds like that.
Paiste, Sabian, and Zildjian are all good brands to look at. I am currently playing all Sabian cymbals, but I've been looking at dumping my ride cymbal for a Paiste Dry Ride. Mine has a good ping but WAY too much wash.
...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

how did you get the info about his cymbals? i didnt find it on zildjian...
I picked up the Zildjian 4-pro set. It had a ride and a crash in it and it was a lot cheaper than going with each seperate. The set cost $299 and it came with a free stand. I'm sure there are a lot better Zildjian cymbols out there, but I went with the cheaper one and got more!

A GOOD ride would cost about that much by itself...
But we all gotta start somewhere! Besides, that ride might be exactly the one for you.

the thing about drumming is that there is no good or best anything. it all depends on what kind of sound you are looking for. usually brands such as zildjian, sabian, paiste have great marketed and good sounding cymbals. if price is not a factor i would go to a store and listen to different cymbals and see what you want
