Paiste Rude Classic18" Crash/ RideRaw and funky with excellent cutting power. 18"; can be heavy enough for riding. In response to extreme developments such as punk and heavy metal in the late 1970"s to early 1980"s, Paiste developed the RUDE series. These cymbals are unlathed, therefore uniform in thickness, and feature heavy mid-range harmonics at high volume levels. Rude Classics feature the same range of models as in the early 1980"s. Their raw, lively character makes them an obvious choice for contemporary bands with minimal instrumentation, as their sound tends to fill the overall musical soundscape.
