The Paiste 20" Rude Thin Crash stands as the most refined member of the notorious Rude family, yet maintains every ounce of the series' legendary cutting power and distinctive character. This thin–weight cymbal produces medium volume levels while offering an explosive response that makes it perfect for punchy accents when standard crashes simply won't cut through the mix.
With its dark, throaty sound profile, this 20" crash excels as both an accent cymbal and a wash cymbal during breakdowns. The sound character is full, dark, and energetic with brilliant broad sparkle sitting beneath its overall cutting nature. Its responsive attack is explosive and shattering, creating breathy layers of sound infused with that unmistakable RUDE attitude.
The cymbal's specifications include a thin weight construction, medium soft to loud volume range, and washy yet crisp stick sound. It offers lively intensity with fairly long sustain and integrated bell character. Very flexible with wide range capabilities and a complex mix of tones, this crash provides the versatility that modern drummers demand while maintaining the aggressive edge the Rude series is famous for.
