Part of the reason I bought that gong for the gong hihats was to turn it into a flat ride. Its some old Zildjian gong/cymbal thing. Theres a hole to mount it on a stand, plus holes to mount it like a gong. Well, I didnt see much use in it in either configuration so I had it converted into a flat ride!
