Sophisticated rudeness.

The Rude Thin Crash provides today's more sophisticated punk and metal drummers with an additional choice in the Rude sound-cymbals with that same brazen, audacious sound that can be played and controlled with more differentiation.

The Rude Series was developed in the late '70s, when rock and metal were nearing temporary maturity and were decidedly sidestepped by the new punk genre. This new form of music singularly distinguished itself by disregarding all the rules and by establishing a brazen, aggressive sound all of its own. Rude cymbals, with their un-lathed surface, uniform thickness, and aggressive frequency mix perfectly mirrored the unconventional trend of the time. Today's popular music firmly roots itself in the history of rock, metal and punk and continues to expand these genres, Rude cymbals continue to be very appropriate sounds for drummers.

I got the 19" a few weeks ago and it is def. worth every penny. My guitarist didnt see me set her up and when I hit it for the first time he stopped playing and said "What was THAT!?!" Easily the thickest thin crash I've ever played, you wont be disappointed.

I bought the 18" and its my second rude (the other being the 18" china) This is the thickist thin crash I've ever used. It has a nice musical decay and fits in well with my Paiste Sigs. I'd recommend this to anyone. Esp. those of you who ply those Zils and Sabian craps.

It's "thin" in relation to the other RUDE cymbals, but it has loads of power to it. I have used the 18" and it's actually a great compliment to my 18" 2002 crash. It has a deep tone and you can do a lot with it. You can use it for more than just Metal. If your looking for a lower tone in a Crash that's still versatile and still compliments the other series of cymbals take a closer look at this one.

These are "thin" crash cymbals in name only. They perform like angry rock crashes. They are powerful and cutting, but retain that silvery Paiste crash shimmer that we all know and love. I use my 20" as a crash ride, and it has stood up to the beatings I've given it very well.

I've had my 19 inch for almost 2 years and it was my favorite cymbal out of all 8 I own. Recently it cracked and I am devistated. The cymbal has a great sound and cuts through perfectly. Also its the loudist cymbal I have ever hit. Im interested in replacing it with the new rude Wild crashes.
