A flat ride cymbal or flat top ride is a ride cymbal without a bell, originally developed by Paiste in collaboration with jazz drummer Joe Morello as part of their Formula 602 series in the 1960s. The most common size is 20″ followed by 18″, but other sizes exist.

A flat ride cymbal produces the tightest, driest, most controlled stick sound of all ride cymbals, but with an airy wash.
