Developed in conjunction with the rise of punk and heavy metal in the mid to late '70s, the Paiste RUDE series was designed to function optimally in high-decibel playing environments. The cymbals features heavier weights, extended hammering patterns and a raw lathing.
The Wild Crash features a medium-heavy weight and precise bow hammering for a focused, high-decibel response with the added ability for ride patterns.
