Review: "On the extreme other end of the musical spectrum are the new 17" and 19" Rude crash/rides. The Rude line, made from Paiste’s CuSn8 “2002 bronze,” was intro-duced in 1980 as a response to heavy metal and punk music requiring extreme cutting power and volume. The hand-hammered cymbals are completely unlathed for a dry,clanging tonality.
The 17" and 19" crash/rides have all of the crash characteristics of the Rude line—in spades. They’re big, loud crash cymbals with lotsof penetration. But when used as rides, they also offer good stick response, a definite ping for clear patterns, and a loud,penetrating bell sound. The 19" model has a bit more overtone wash than the 17".
While the Rude series is intended for loud situations, I believe either of these two models would make a good ride cymbal for just about any musical genre. Their unlathed design does make them bright and cutting, but they’re not so overpowering that they’d be out of place when used in a quieter setting. Of course, that’s assuming that they’re played with the right amount of finesse. "
