PAISTE 1128520 20 RUDE CRASH RIDE CYMBAL

Paiste 1128520 20" RUDE Crash Ride Cymbal

The Paiste RUDE Crash Ride 20" is a powerful, multi-functional cymbal designed for maximum volume, projection, and raw energy. Built for aggressive playing styles, it delivers a bright, metallic attack with a full, explosive crash and a strong, cutting ride presence. Its heavy weight produces a pronounced ping that sits on top of a dirty, full-bodied wash, making it ideal for drummers who need both articulate ride definition and massive crash accents in high-volume environments.
