Is the drummer from Shadows Fall using two ride cymbals at the beginning of "Power of I and I"?

Question

I want to know, so i can play it right

Answer 1

It's really difficult to mike 2 ride cymbals and mix it; he's probably got a big-bell ride which has 2 very distinct sounds. I played with the drummer from Violent Mood Swing, he had a big-bell ride that was postitively enormous (like 50% bigger than a regular ride) and could produce that sound you're thinking is 2 rides. The one below is just a sample, i think his was even larger than a 24".
