Paiste 24" Rude Mega Power Ride

Monster Ride for the distinguished metal drummer

Be warned - this thing is heavy and it is large! So if you want to have your drum kit as small as possible and lightweight even? Forget it.

Very dry, piercing ping. Almost impossible to use as a crash without absolutely flailing at it with your drum sticks. The bell - oh man! The BELL!! That's a seriously mean weapon. Cuts through the mix like butter.

The whole cymbal stays very controlled and dry in its character. Really perfect for metal playing. As with other stuff from the Rude series, I'd recommend trying it out first. I'd assume this is not for everyone.

Build quality is absolutely perfect, quite some material for the buck! 12/10 - would buy again

how to scare your guitar player!

The RUDE 24"mega power ride is a BIG cymbal. It is very loud yet extremely musical at the same time. It has a very defined loud ping over a thunderstorm of a wash. The wash has a long sustain. The bell is humongous with a deep resonating sound. Crashing the cymbal produces another thunderclap. This is a great looking cymbal with its dark bronze colour that will dominate any kit setup. It may not suit every type of music but for those looking for this type of sound it is perfect.
