Oldguy, are you talking about getting a "ping" sound from the ride 
during the crash sound?  I have been interested in trying to get 
that kind of sound but I thought I would have to layer my ride 
cymbal with more volume on the ride than on the voice number 2 crash 
behind it.  Its not possible to layer two voices on rims correct?  
If that was so, then I would like to keep a ride voice on the pad, 
but have both a crash and ping sound on the edge, although I doubt 
this can be done to the edge.
