The term travel means traveling with music, describing the cimbal retention after the collision. The term can describe either the function or the characteristic of the instrument. Most cimbal creators produce specific cymbals for this purpose.
Some drummers use a porcelain cimbal, a sizzle cimbal or a specialized tone such as a cymbal or cimbal cimbal as a cimbal ride. When you play extremely soft when using brushes, and when you shoot, even a thin crash can also serve as a cimbal ride.
