collapse expand iconDescription

The Paiste RUDE series was made for players who need raw energy and extreme cutting power without sacrificing musical cymbal sound. Made with CuSb8 bronze, these cymbals are raw, lively, bright, energetic, with heavy mid-range harmonics and powerful, cutting characteristics. RUDE cymbals retain a faithful following and have become a classic cymbal sound.
