Use a good ride hat,remove bass freqs add a touch of reverb then give it some deep compression fast attack,slow release to make it kind of breath........or try reverb settings with alot of reverb and a super low dry output so it floats over everything and sounds nice and distant.
For some variation bounce it down(render the ride)and the reverb tail should be missing on the first or last hit.Or the pitching up or down idea is a good one
