With its thin weight and medium volume, the Thin Crash is by far the most polite member of the Paiste Rude series - that's not to say it doesn't have the same cut and character as the other Rude cymbals. The 19" Rude Thin Crash has an explosive response, which makes it a natural choice for punchy accents where a splash or traditional crash won't do. Its dark, throaty sound also makes it a heck of a wash cymbal for breakdowns. Paiste Rude cymbals: punk and metal's preference since 1980 For raw attitude and projection that carries beyond the stage, there's nothing like Paiste Rude cymbals. Each crash, hat, and ride in this series is built with one goal in mind: unbridled musical energy. So whether you sling sludge in the South or rock studio metal in Sweden, take it from Sweetwater: Paiste's Rude series cymbals have what you're after.
