Paiste 18 Inch Rude Wild Crash Cymbal

Born from the rebellious spirit of late 1970s punk and metal, the Paiste 18 Inch Rude Wild Crash Cymbal stands as the definitive choice for musicians who demand power and aggression from their kit. Crafted from CuSn8 Bronze (also known as "2002 Bronze"), this cymbal was specifically designed for the revolution that swept through heavy music, and continues to lead the charge in Rock, Metal and Punk applications.

The 18" Rude Wild Crash produces a very energetic and powerful sound character that's distinctly metallic with a hissing quality. Its fairly narrow range and clean mix make it exceptionally responsive, providing that crucial feel drummers need when laying down aggressive patterns. The cymbal excels in crash/ride applications and maintains its strong, sturdy presence even under the most demanding playing styles.

Suitable for medium loud to extremely loud applications, this cymbal performs equally well in live and recording environments. It's perfectly suited to Punk, Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, and Rock/Metal crossover styles, as well as contemporary genres that draw from these aggressive musical foundations. The Wild Crash will enhance any drum setup that requires the raw power and metallic bite essential to extreme musical genres.
