Paiste Rude 14-inch sound edge hi-hat

General

The Paiste Rude 14-inch Sound Edge hihat produces an exceptionally clear and raw sound. As befits a RUDE cymbal, this rough-finished hihat feels completely at home in a rock, metal or punk drum kit. As such, the Paiste Rude sound edge hi-hat 14-inch is primed for loud to very loud cymbal rhythms. Its chick sound (the closing of the cymbals) is strong and penetrating. Finally, 'Sound Edge' means that the lower cymbal is corrugated. This is to prevent vacuuming of the two cymbals when they come flat on top of each other when closing the hi-hat.

RUDE cymbals

The RUDE series is one of the most widely used cymbal series for rock, metal, punk and related genres. Paiste developed the cymbals in the late 1970s for the then emerging punk and metal music. They are handmade, from the high quality CuSn8 Bronze, and have a rough finish. The RUDE cymbals give drummers an excellent tool to support rough guitar work with a mercilessly raw and powerful cymbal sound.
