Paiste Rude 18" Basher

Paiste Rude 18" Basher

These definitely different cymbals were inspired by the revolution of punk and metal during the late 1970s. RUDE continues to be the leading choice of sound for raw, merciless and powerful musical energy in Rock, Metal, and Punk.

These raw, powerful cymbals are bright and energetic with heavy mid-range harmonics and powerful, cutting characteristics.

The Basher is a hefty, powerful cymbal with plenty of attack and a saturated, menacing crash sound. The deep, beefy bell makes this a strong and loud, yet unintrusive cymbal. Ideal for crash ride patterns in very loud settings.
