Does Thin = Washy?

I think you need some hammering to get the wash going. I agree with Rattlin' on the difference between ping and stick. A cymbal can have attack in either the ping or stick direction but ping is wet and stick is dry to me but both are descriptions of a ride's attack. I think the hammering has a lot do with wash and that's due to the sound being chaotically scattered from the cymbal when it's struck... If you're looking for stick and wash (and who isn't?!?!) I think you need to go deep in to hammering.
 
Get a Sabian AA Bash Ride. It will do what you want. Peace and goodwill.
