For several months I resisted the advice that open handers 'should' move the ride to the left. Mainly because I didn't know better starting out. I was born left handed but was forced to write right handed in school with the result being a high degree of mixed handedness. My naïve self didn't know that swapping from left on the hats to right on the ride is supposed to be problematic. Not until I started hearing about it in lesson videos and I started thinking about it. Then I started second guessing myself.
That said, after swapping ride to the left, then back to the right, then back to the left while still feeling dissatisfied with the results, the light came on at the edge of sleep one morning. I can have two rides! I left the electronic ride on the right and added a low volume ride on the left. It had been collecting dust under the bed and wanted to make frenz with the hi-hats. Now I feel like the universe is mine 😊
Most open handers I see, now that I'm paying attention, seem to all have a ride on the left. A large number also seem to have doubled up. So if you are feeling that slight amount of dissatisfaction about not having a ride or ride/crash over on the right, doubling up isn't unusual.
