Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: This is a bright, punchy crash, with a decent sustain for its small size. If you watch my video, you'll notice that it is nearly the same in weight and sound as the RUDE Sound Edge Hi-Hat Top. It's too small to be used as a main crash for any type of music that I can think of, but this could be used as a side crash for quick accents, as Charlie Benante did for awhile in the 80s. (Although his was the 1000 RUDE 14" Crash/Ride) This size in this model hasn't been made for quite a few years, so they're not at all common. This is the second hardest Crash/Ride to find, after the 15" size, which is rarely found.
